The correct option is (b) Tension

Explanation: The essential feature of reinforced earth is that friction develops between compacted layer of earth and reinforcing elements. The soil transfers the forces built up in the earth mass to the reinforcement by means of friction. Thus, tension is developed in the reinforcement.
