Question is sufficient. It is transversely loaded.
Question is sufficient. It is transversely loaded.

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

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

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.

Any load perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of beam.

What is transverse loading?
Katrina said:

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

For beam the load applied always downward, so the answer is top player.

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

If beam is cantilever then max. compressive stress will be in the bottom fibre but in case SSB max. compressive stress will be in the top fibre.
