In the context of metal fatigue, which of the following statements best describes the phenomenon known as "endurance limit"? A) The maximum stress a material can withstand before it undergoes plastic deformation. B) The stress below which a material can theoretically endure an infinite number of load cycles without failure. C) The residual stress remaining in a material after the removal of an external load. D) The stress at which a material experiences sudden catastrophic failure without any prior plastic deformation.
