Question diagram
A

It reduces the weight of the beam without sacrificing strength.

B

It increases the surface area for more load distribution.

C

It ensures uniform stress distribution across the beam.

D

It allows for greater flexibility in the beam structure.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The commonly used cross-section shape for a load-bearing beam reduces the weight without sacrificing strength, as it provides a large load-bearing surface and enough depth to prevent bending.
