A
There are 3 members in tension, and 2 members in compression
B
There are 2 members in tension, 2 members in compression, and 1 zero-force member
C
There are 2 members in tension, 1 member in compression, and 2 zero-force members
D
There are 2 members in tension, and 3 zero-force members

Correct : d
