This is very entry level question and might have been answered already.
My question is, what is the correct way to name my package folders?
for example, I want to have package named - com.stack.abc
Option A- shall I create package folder with name - com.stack.abc?
or
Option B- shall I create folder structure as shown below?
com
|_stack
|_abc
To summarise, I should have only one folder (com.stack.abc) or 2 subfolders under com?

To your question, com.stack.abc should be the folder hierarchy structure.
com
|-stack
|-abc
Edit due to main post edited;
You would create 3 different folders. One folder called com, one folder inside com called stack, and one folder inside stack called abc. On some, or most IDEAs, it will look like 1 folder because it looks like com.stack.abc but it's really 3 folders.
Generally you define the source folder (top level of all java files) as
src/main/java/
Then you define the package that represents your website (if any)
com.stack.abc
This would resolve to;
abc.stack.com
The entire directory would look like this;
src/main/java/com/stack/abc
