There is no clarity in question, here it should mention which type of beam is loaded.
For cantilever beam "bottom layer".
For ss beam "top layer".
For cantilever beam "bottom layer".
For ss beam "top layer".

May be:.
"When a rectangular beam is loaded transversely".
Load = rectangular beam.
Rectangular beam is made to load transversely (vertically) on a surface (longitudinal axis).
Then "the maximum compressive stress is developed on the [A]. Bottom layer".

As, I think top fibre is the most suitable answer.

According to me, question is insufficient because the loading condition is not given that is it a simply supported of cantilever.

Top fibre is right answer.

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.

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.
