- b) Homogeneous
- c) Non-homogeneous

Answer: b) Homogeneous
Explanation:
• Boussinesq solved stress distribution problems in soils because of the concentrated loads that act at the ground surface.
• That assumption is made based on a theory of elasticity. Hence the soil is considered to be elastic & homogeneous in nature.
