Ductility in materials refers to their ability to deform under tensile stress without breaking, often associated with metals. Wood, however, is not typically considered ductile; it is more brittle and tends to fracture rather than deform significantly when subjected to stress. Its mechanical behavior depends on factors like species, moisture content, and grain orientation, which can influence its ability to absorb energy before failure. Overall, wood is better characterized by its strength and stiffness rather than ductility.

What material has the highest ductility a diamond a piece of copper marble or a piece of wood?

Diamond and granite are extraordinarily firm; they will shatter but not bend. Wood will bend somewhat, depending on the type of wood. Oak won't bend at all, while maple, cedar and ash will bend somewhat and willow is quite flexible. But only metals are "ductile", so copper is the correct answer.

What is the property of being able to be drawn into a wire?

The property of being able to be drawn into a wire is referred to as ductility. Materials that exhibit ductility can be stretched into a wire without breaking. Ductility is a key characteristic of metals like copper and gold.
