What is the modulus of rigidity of a liquid?

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: The stretching of a spring is determined by the shear modulus of the material of the spring.
Reason $(R)$: $A$ coil spring of copper has more tensile strength than a steel spring of same dimensions.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

The upper end of a wire of diameter $12\,mm$ and length $1\,m$ is clamped and its other end is twisted through an angle of $30^{\circ}$. The angle of shear is $........^{\circ}$.
