The tensile strength of concrete is measured in three ways:.
The direct tension, splitting tension, and flexural tension.
It is difficult to test concrete in direct (uniaxial) tension because of the problem of gripping the specimen satisfactorily and because there must be no eccentricity of the applied load.
Therefore, the direct tensile test is not standardized and rarely used.
Option {A} IS RIGHT.

Option B is correct and in option C it should be two point loading instead of third point loading.
