Option A is the correct answer.
Verify by dimension.
At is in m^2
t is in kg/m^2
W is in kg/m^2
L is in m.
Thus, At x t / W x L = (m^2 x kg/m^2)/(kg/m^2 x m) = m.

Dimension wise D is correct.
Stress =load or force/area so unit N/m^2.
Load = unit Newton (N),
Area = m^2.
Length =m.
So;
100 * W*l/Stress * area = N*m*m^2/N*m^2 = m only which can be CM or mm and the unit of spacing.

D is the correct answer if no of tie bars are asked, but it should be A as the spacing of tie bars is asked in this question.
