Answer»

Right choice is (c) Roof/Floor

For EXPLANATION I WOULD say: Stresses are set up in walls by its own weight, by the weight of superimposed LOADS and by LATERAL pressure. A wall can be supported at the horizontal level by cross walls, piers or buttresses which transfer horizontal forces to the foundation.
