Maximum tensile stress is developed at bottom fibre due to elongation of fibre.

What is transverse loading?

Any load perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of beam.

The answer is totally correct. You all forgot the meaning of stress, it is the resisting force, when the beam is loaded transversely, tensile force will act on the bottom layer. So to compensate the effect, compressive stress will act at the bottom layer.

The answer is top layer as the compressive stress are developed maximum at the top layer. No doubt regarding the answer.

Its actually according to the type of the beam. So data in the question totally insufficient.

@Devanesan Andrews.
Question is sufficient. It is transversely loaded.
Question is sufficient. It is transversely loaded.

The loading condition in case of a leaf spring can said to be a transverse loading, and in this case the top layer will be under tension and bottom layer will be under compression.

Load is applied transversely downward means top layer will undergo compressive stress and bottom layer under go tensile stress.

Since type of beam is not defined so it difficult to give the answer.
