What is piezoelectricity?

• A. The ability of materials to generate voltage when an electromagnetic wave of a certain frequency is applied
• B. The ability of materials to generate electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency when voltage is applied
• C. A characteristic of materials that generate a voltage when stressed and that flex when a voltage is applied
• D. A characteristic of materials that have an index of refraction which depends on the polarization of the electromagnetic wave passing through it
