Guest theory for ductile material, which is also maximum shear stress theory also called Teresa theroy.

Yes, B is right.

The principle stress theory is for brittle material.

The principle shear stress theory is specifically for a ductile material.

So, the correct option is B.

Maximum principal stress theory for brittle material Not for ductile.

Option (B) Answer is maximum shear stress theory.

In above question there is two-term is used first is , for ductile and second is conservative .
For ductile material two possibilities MSST and MDET. But MSST conservative is most because it has hexagonal form and MDET have an ellipse in charm curve.

Maximum shear stress theory is the right one.

In question, there are two points that need to be noted.

1. Ductile. 2. Most conservative.

Hence for ductile with the most conservative maximum principal stress theory is to be considered.
