As per my understanding of Soil Mechanics, the correct answer should be option B because,
The shearing force acting along the slice of a curved surface of slippage typically causes the soil to slide "down at the toe".
This is because, in a slope or mass of soil, the toe (the lower part of the slope) is where the shearing force is most likely to cause failure, leading to sliding or slipping of soil towards the base of the slope.
The curved surface of slippage often reflects the failure mechanism of the soil as it moves downward and outward.
