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

Yes, According to me, the correct answer is option B.

@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.

B, because the moment of inertia and section modulus are cross-section properties, not loading properties; i.e., they do not depend upon loading.
