Solution

The correct option is B A distance d from the face of the support
As per IS 456:2000 clause 22.6.2.1, when the reaction in the direction of applied shear introduces compression into the end region of the member, sections located at a distance less than 'd' may be designed for the same shear as that computed at distance 'd'.
