The ratio stress/strain is indeed called the elastic modulus.

B, C, D, and E are inaccurate statements. "Strain" is not close in meaning to "force" (B), "stress" is not close in meaning to "stretch" (C), tensile stress is not measured in Newtons (D), and tensile strain is not measured in meters (E).
