It's simply supported beam maximum deflection occurs at the midpoint of load applied.

Use MOMENT AREA METHOD, you will get max. Deflection as Wa^3b/3LEI.

This equation is correct. So the answer must be A.

The equation given in the question expresses the value of Deflection at the point of application of load. But maximum deflection will be somewhere between the point of application and midpoint of the beam. So this equation DOESN'T represent MAXIMUM deflection and the statement will be FALSE.

Wa^2b^2/3EIL is deflection under the applied load, it is not the maximum deflection.

According to the figure, the answer is correct but according to c's position the right answer is:- (Wa^2c^3)/384EI.
