The correct answer includes all the options:

Dead loads, Live loads, Wind loads, Earthquakes.

Columns in multi-storeyed buildings are designed to resist various types of loads and forces, including:

1. Dead loads: The weight of the building's structure, walls, floors, roofs, and permanent fixtures.
2. Live loads: Temporary or movable loads, such as people, furniture, and equipment.
3. Wind loads: Forces exerted by wind on the building's structure.
4. Earthquakes: Seismic forces that can cause lateral loads and stresses on the building's structure.

Designing columns to withstand these forces ensures the building's stability, safety, and structural integrity.

And the Final Answer: All of the above (Dead loads, Live loads, Wind loads, Earthquakes).
