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

The answer is A.
It's just like turning the pages in a book, where the bottom layer compresses and the top layer expands.

Here it is mentioned the type of loading. The given answer is correct only for Cantilever Beam.
You are correct @Tarun.
You are correct @Tarun.

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

This is only true if the beam is simply supported for cantilever beam with TSL the answer will be opposite.

When the loaded in rectangular beam, then will be developed maximum stresses in bottom and top layer.

I think the answer for the maximum compressive stress is developed on the top layer of the beam.

Due to transverse load the beam is sagging, so that's the compression is developed on top layer.

Top layer concave shape gain and bottom layer convex shape so top layer is compressive stress.

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