The correct choice is (a) Bearings

To explain I would say: The effect in the form of pitching of a ship produces forces on the bearings which acts in the following direction: horizontal to the motion and perpendicular to the motion in which the ship is travelling. Hence bearings experience the forces due to pitching.
