Standard textbooks like McCabe say:
Grindability mainly depends on hardness and toughness, and elasticity does NOT affect grindability.
Size has a secondary effect, but it is generally not considered a fundamental property affecting grindability.
If your book says "size" affects grindability, it might mean:
The feed particle size affects the grinding rate or efficiency in practice.
But grindability as a material property is usually defined independent of size.
To conclude:
If the question asks what grindability does not depend on, standard answer is:
Elasticity (because it's unrelated to fracture or crushing).
Size can influence grinding operation practically, but is less fundamental as a grindability property.
