The type of beam is not mentioned.

For simply supported: compression in top, tension in bottom.
For cantilever: tension in top, compression in bottom.

Bottom of beam get tension due to loading and stresses developed as compressive stress.

They have not specified any beam, so the given answer is correct for cantilever beam.

Beam type is specified by the supports, beam with rectangular cros section could be either cantilever or simply supported beam!
