The bar must be hanging vertically downward.

Hence max stress should act on larger area.

As we know, stress inversely proportional to the area. So where the area is minimum stress is maximum. So the answer is a smaller end.

However, If the type of loading is Self-weight then the maximum stress would be developed at the section where it is fixed.
