For bridges well foundations, piles and piers may use depending on site condition. But for sky scrapper building mostly pile foundations are used.

From the above options, I think option B is correct.

Pile foundation will resist the horizontal forces acting on skyscraper building due to the wind.

It will act as a tensile pile too. To resit horizontal tensile forces.
