The correct answer is option D.
Fixed support in the real beam becomes a free end in the conjugate beam and vice versa.
Internal Hinge connection in real beam becomes simple support in conjugate beam and vice versa.
Simple support at the edge remains the same for both real and conjugate beams.
Fixed support in the real beam becomes a free end in the conjugate beam and vice versa.
Internal Hinge connection in real beam becomes simple support in conjugate beam and vice versa.
Simple support at the edge remains the same for both real and conjugate beams.

Option D is correct because in conjugate beam internal hinge repassed to roller & roller support hinge.

D is the correct option. Internal hinge is converted into Roller support. If not provide Roller support then the beam will rotate about a hinge.
So, D is the correct option for this question.
So, D is the correct option for this question.

In a simple manner, the number Of equilibrium conditions are 4 in question those are verticle force horigentle force and moment and having hinge at B having a moment is zero. Compare the option with equilibrium conditions we get option B and D are matching but hinge will not change. So, option B is correct.
