A is correct for copressive stress.

Devendra said:   6 years ago
When a body is subjected to equal and opposite pushes (compressive force) as a result tensile stress will induce inside the body which will try to increase the length.

Hence, stress and strain-induced would be tensile.

Induce tensile stress because material resists push by internal tensile resistance so tensile stress induced.

Simply when force is pull in a given figure then the stress is considered as tensile so when the force is push here same conditions applied.

So answer is A.

Yes, I agree The answer should be B.

Can anyone explain what about strain?

Jasper Ramon said:   7 years ago
When the resistance offered by the body is against the compressive load it is called compressive stress.

Aamir said:   8 years ago
It should be tensile.

Pawan kumar said:   8 years ago
When we are pushed in opposite direction automatically the body will be reduced.

Kebito said:   8 years ago
I think, B is right.
