Solution

The correct option is A
Tensile stress

A tensile stress occurs when something is being pulled. A rope experiences tensile stress because it is flexible. In other words, a rope cannot be pushed by applying a force. One has to pull it from either side. This exerts a force along the length and brings the change in cross sectional area of an object.
