43.
The region of the cross-section of a column in which compressive load may be applied without producing any tensile stress, is known as the core of the cross-section. In circular columns the radius of the core, is
one-half of the radius
one-third of the radius
one-quarter of the radius
one-fifth of the radius

The answer is correct because in question asked for the radius of the core so eccentricity itself.

So, e=D/8 therefore the radius of core = r/4.

e <= d/8,
e <= 2r/8,
Then e <= r/4.
