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?

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

Max compression will be on top layer and this will decreases towards neutral layer and becomes zero at neutral layer, after that stress will be tensile and value increases and reaches max at bottom layer.

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.

Can anyone explain the meaning loaded transversely?

The answer which is given that is only true for when load is applied transversely downward.
