I think the right option is D.

I think it should be a Resisting force.

Its resisting force per unit area. If a body is free to expand when it is subjected to either axial, Normal or tensile force, then the stress generated will be zero.
Hence even though these bodies have forced applied the stress is zero because the body is not resisting the forces.

Actually, stress can be defined as the internal resisting force of a body per unit area against its deformation. Stress = force/area.

It is actually the restoring force per unit area developed in the material. Not just force/area.
