In a simple bending theory, one of the assumptions is that the plane sections before bending remain plane after bending. This assumption means that

A Stress is uniform throughout the beam
B Strain is uniform throughout the beam
C Stress is proportional to the distance from the neutral axis
D Strain is proportional to the distance from the neutral axis

Correct Answer: Strain is proportional to the distance from the neutral axis
