    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.
