The correct option is:
When the woman is standing in running shoes, her entire weight is distributed in the larger area available from the contact between the running shoes and the ground. Therefore the magnitude of the normal reaction from the ground is significantly less, but is applied on her entire feet.
In case the woman stands in stiletto high heels, her entire weight is distributed to smaller area available from the contact between the heels and the ground. Therefore the magnitude of normal reaction from the ground is significantly larger and is applied non-uniformly on her feet.
Therefore (c) is the correct option while the rest are ruled out.
