This question is making me hungry. Is there a 'weld cheese' option?

B) Joint penetration. I'm pretty sure that's the correct term for the depth of the weld metal in the joint.

I'm not sure, but I think D) Complete penetration could also be a possibility. It sounds like it could be the distance the weld metal extends completely through the joint.

I agree with Sherita. Joint penetration makes sense because it refers to how far the weld metal extends into the joint.

D) Complete penetration. If the weld metal extends all the way through the joint, that's called complete penetration.
