Drops are provided in flats slabs to resist

Solution
The correct option is C shear
The slabs supported directly on columns without beams are know as flat slabs. In such slabs, large bending moments and shear forces are induced in the vicinity of columns. Therefore the columns are flared at the top called column heads or column capitals and slab are thickened around the column capitals called drops for reducing the stresses due to moments and shears. The drops primarily resist shear.
