The correct answer should be (A).

If the beam is loaded in zagging then top layer is in compression and bottom layer is in tension and if it is in hogging then vica versa.

Some books mention top layer and some books mention bottom layer. I am confusing.

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

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

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

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.

@Devanesan Andrews.
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.
