A) Tensile stress
B) Compressive stress
C) Shear stress
D) No stress

Explanation:

As per theory of thermal stresses, when a body is restricted from free expansion or contraction, it develops internal stresses when subjected to change in temperature.

If a constrained part is heated, it tends to expand. But restriction to movement causes development of compressive stresses within the body.

On the other hand, tensile stresses develop when a constrained body is cooled.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Heating of a constrained part leads to development of compressive thermal stresses within it.
