E equals 3K times (1 minus 2 divided by m)E is equal to 2N multiplied by (1 plus 1 divided by m)(3/2)K times (1 minus 2 divided by m) equals N times (1 plus 1 divided by m)All of the aboveNone of the above

Explanation

The following formulas correctly relate the elastic constants: (A) E = 3K(1 - 2/m), (B) E = 2N(1 + 1/m), and (C) (3/2)K(1 - 2/m) = N(1 + 1/m). Therefore, option D, which includes all these equations, is the correct choice.
