Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

\(F = m \cdot g = 1.5 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 15 \, \text{N}\)
\(A = \pi r^2 = \pi (0.003 \, \text{m})^2 = \pi (9 \times 10^{-6}) \approx 2.827 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m}^2\)
\(\text{Stress} = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{15 \, \text{N}}{2.827 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m}^2} \approx 5.299 \times 10^5 \, \text{Pa}\)

There is an explanation video available below.
