A is correct for copressive stress.

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.
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.
So answer is A.

Yes, I agree The answer should be B.

Can anyone explain what about strain?

When the resistance offered by the body is against the compressive load it is called compressive stress.

It should be tensile.

When we are pushed in opposite direction automatically the body will be reduced.

I think, B is right.
