Answer»

The correct option is (c) LOAD which will not be exceeded by certain probability during life of STRUCTURE

To explain I would SAY: Characteristic load is the load which will not be exceeded by certain ASSUMED or pre-assumed probability during life of structure. These loads are anticipated loads due to SELF weight, imposed load, snow, wind load, etc.
