Best answer
Right choice is (d) External

Explanation: The free body diagram is using the external forces which are acting on the beam as the main purpose is to design the beam. Design so as to withstand the loads which are going to be added to the beams. Thus the loads which are being added externally are being used in the free body diagrams.
