• Columns are classified into three types, which are, Short columns, Medium columns, and Long columns.
• On the basis of how they fail, these are:

1. Short columns: Fail because of crushing due to direct stress,
2. Medium columns: May fail due to crushing as well as buckling,
3. Long columns: Fail because of buckling.

• Thus, the correct answer will be 'option a', that is, "Short column".
