At joint C there in neither any external force nor any support to give reaction. Hence BC and DC are zero force members as there is no other force to balance the member forces.

As f(bc)sin0 = zero at vertical equilibrium forces = 0.

Therefore f(bc) = 0.

Apply equation pf equilibrium at joint c. Hence there is no force at BC.

Here if we consider the equilibrium of pt. C,

In x direction, -f(cb)- f(cd)Cos 8 = 0.
& in y direction, -f(cd)Sin 8 = 0.

This gives, f(cd) = 0.
Therefore, f(cb) = 0.

Hence, option(C) is correct.
