Section Modulus Z=I/ymax in general I= bd3/12 in this problem d=b ,b=h.

The loading is in a plane parallel to the side b. ymax= b/2, Z= hb3/12/b/2 =b2h/6.

This question clears out an important concept.

Definition of beam= "a structure member on which load act transversely (i.e perpendicular to N.A)."
Now in question, he said load is parallel to width means that he rotated the beam and now N.A change (because the load will act perpendicular to N.A in the beam).

Z = I/Y.
= bh^2/12 ÷ h/2,
= bh^2/6.
So, the answer is B.

C is correct.
Here the load acts on the depth side.
So, the answer is b^2h/6.

@All.

Always remember the cube in the Moment of Inertia has to go to the perpendicular side that is h here and Z = I/ (h/2).

That gives (b*h^2)/6.

In general terms b= width and d or h = depth or height respectively. When loading is applied we consider bd^3/12 (hear loading is parallel to depth) and y=d/2.

Hear in this problem,

Parallel to width is asked making it shifting terms from width as depth (assume that u have rotated your beam)
So hear instead of bd^3 /12 and y=d/2.
V get db^3/12 and y= b/2.
Making Z=I/Y as db^2/6.

Section modulus is the ratio of MOI of N.A & Distance from NA from the extreme stressed fibre.
Here NA plays the main role. The load applied in the face of Length x depth. This face elongated & opposite face compressed. So, NA will lie in between this. That means NA will pass perpendicular to width. so MOI will be b^3.d/12.

Distance from n.a. to extreme stressed fibre is b/2.
