(b or d)/3 for rectangle.
R/4 for circle.
These regions refer to kern size or core size.

For Rectangular section:
e<=b/3

And
e<=d/6 or h/6

For circular section
e<=d/8
So, the given answer is correct.

Option E is correct, For rectangular section, the limit of eccentricity is " e <= b/6 or d/6 on either side of the centroid" and For Circular section, the limit of eccentricity is " e<= D/8 on either side of the centroid".

Refer RK Bansal.
