I think light weight is the correct answer.

Rectangular beam>square beam>circular beam.
0.792 < 1 < 1.118.

For larger spans the width and depth variation will cause a sample amount of material saving rather than a prismatic beam this saving in the material will be less if the span is short.

Also, the weight of being for longer spam will be less hence option D seems to be correct.
