Explanation:

Identify the arrangement of the two plates

Using the Welding Joint Types knowledge point
The diagram shows two rectangular plates positioned perpendicular to each other. One plate is horizontal, and the other is vertical. The edge of the horizontal plate meets the flat surface of the vertical plate, forming a "T" shape.

Apply the joint definition

Using the T-joint Definition knowledge point
A T-joint is formed when two members are placed at approximately \(90^\circ\) to each other in the form of a "T". Since the horizontal member terminates on the flat face of the vertical member, this configuration is classified as a T-joint.

Match with the available options

The visible options on the left side of the image are:

• edge joint
• butt joint
• lap joint
• corner joint
• T-joint (partially cut off at the bottom, showing "joint")

The configuration matches a T-joint.

Answer:

• (A) edge joint
• (B) butt joint
• (C) lap joint
• (D) corner joint
• (E) T-joint (Correct answer)
