@Samarth.

If you are doing stepping then why it is needed to holding the tape?

So down the hill is difficult to perform.

Samarth Garg said:   7 years ago
If stepping uphill, follower will have the difficult job of holding the tape, horizontal and with the end vertically over the previous arrow.

So, downhill stepping is preferred.

Option A is correct. To obtain better results, chaining is done from top of hill to the toe i.e. downhill.
