A curved member with a straight vertical leg is carrying a vertical load at Z, as shown in the figure. The stress resultants in the XY segment are

1. bending moment, shear force and axial force
2. bending moment and axial force only
3. bending moment and shear force only
4. axial force only

Correct Option: D

The load passes axially along x y, so resultant stress is axial
