Correct choice is (a) shoe brake

Explanation: A single block or shoe brake consists of a block or shoe which is pressed against the rim of a revolving brake wheel drum. The block is made of a softer material than the rim of the wheel. This type of a brake is commonly used on railway trains and tram cars.
