Depends.

If A answers "This toaster is made of plastique and paper, one would have to look up their tensile strength to answer your question"

And B answers "I don't know what materials this toaster is made of, but the best tensile strength in toasters is reached when using iron, ok tensil strength is achieved by using copper. One should avoid plastique and paper as these have very bad tensil strenght"

Then C could imply that the tensil strength of that toaster is not good.
