Solution
The correct option is A The right end is displaced towards right and the left end towards left.
It is given that the ends of a spring are displaced along the axis or length of the spring.
If both the ends are displaced with an equal magnitude in the same direction, then there will not be any change in the spring length. It means that the spring does not experience any tension or compression. (Option B and Option C)
If the right end is displaced towards right and the left end towards left with a displacement of X (let's say), then the change in the length will be 2X and the spring will be tension.
