Stress will depend on type of beam.

Here loaded transversely mean load acting downwards i.e. perpendicular to longitudinal axis of the beam, definitely question is the insufficient type of beam should be mentioned.
If it is cantilever beam answer would be bottom later.
If it is SS Beam then the top layer.
If it is cantilever beam answer would be bottom later.
If it is SS Beam then the top layer.

Transverse load means load which is perpendicular to the neutral axis.

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 loading profile is not stated. So I can not understand how can one answer this?
If the beam is cantilever beam then it will bend concave down and the bottom layer is in compression.
For a simply supported beam, the bending profile is concave up so top layer will be compressed.
If the beam is cantilever beam then it will bend concave down and the bottom layer is in compression.
For a simply supported beam, the bending profile is concave up so top layer will be compressed.
