Right Answer is: C
SOLUTION
Serviceability criterion of plate girder:
The serviceability for a plate girder is based on the fact that no yielding should be allowed in the web plate or we can say limiting the thickness of the web.
The depth of the web decides the economy of the plate girder while designing.
The width of the flange decides the lateral torsional buckling behavior of the compression flange of a plate girder.
