Explanation

In railway points/switches, the stock rail is the fixed rail against which the movable tongue rail fits to form the crossing. Wing rail (option A) is part of the crossing, lead rail (option C) is not a standard term, and point rail (option D) usually refers to the tongue rail itself, not the fixed component.
