Yes, it's fixed not simply supported.

Answer is A.

For a fixed beam of length ll carrying a central point load WW, the maximum deflection (\delta_{max}δ
max) can be calculated using the following formula:

\delta_{max} = \frac{{W l^3}}{{48 E I}}δ.
max = Wl^3/48EI.

Where:

WW = Load applied at the centre.
ll = Length of the beam.
EE = Young's modulus (modulus of elasticity) of the beam material.
II = Moment of inertia of the beam's cross-sectional area.

I think Option A is the correct answer.

Fixed at both ends so the answer max Deflection = wl3/192EI is correct.
