Lean concrete bed: This is used to provide a level and clean surface for the construction of the foundation. It helps in improving the bearing capacity of the soil to some extent.

Reinforced concrete bed: This type of bed is used to enhance the strength and load-bearing capacity of the foundation. The reinforcement helps in distributing the load more effectively and prevents settlement and cracking.

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) and (c).
