Concrete is weak in tension, so that concrete is reinforced to resist tension force acting on it.

Sometimes minimum steels are provided beam first ductility and second time of rupture and flexure failure.

Yes, D is the answer.

I think option B is correct because steel is mainly provided to give flexural strength to the concrete.

Paras Nayyar said:   9 years ago
According to me option D is the correct answer.

Ductility might be suitable option as per is 13920.

Abid Ali said:   1 decade ago
I think it is to provide enough ductility to the beam. The language of option B is not suitable for answer.

Also to avoid sudden failure because the difference between steel and concrete tension strength. When over load -over stress the cracks appears will be warning.
