Tensile Strength

If something is subjected to a stress equal to its tensile strength, would it break or deform?
Slightly confused because different exams have had different answers.

once it enters the non-linear region (plastic region) it will be deformed after stress is lifted
if its a brittle material (no plastic region) then the tensile strength is the end of the linear region, at which point it breaks

strength = maximum stress an object can take, can either break or deform at this point
