    According to Maximum Principal Stress theory (also known as Rankine's theory of failure), elastic failure occurs ( )
    A: when the minor principal stress is equal to the elastic limits value in a simple tension test
    B: when the greatest principal stress reaches the elastic limit value in simple tension test
    C: when the greatest principal stress is equal to the stress corresponding to the upper yield limit in a tension test
    D: none of the above
