Answer: B
The bearing plate size varies from 300 to 750 mm.
IS 1888, the code for the plate load test, uses square steel plates of 300 mm to 750 mm side (or circular plates of equivalent area), at least 25 mm thick. A 300 mm plate is common for granular soils and larger plates for clayey soils.
Plates of 25 to 275 mm are too small: a small plate stresses only a shallow zone of soil and gives results that do not scale reliably to a real footing.
