Answer»

Right option is (b) 4 fish bolts

For EXPLANATION: A fishplate, splice bar or joint bar is a METAL bar that is bolted to the ends of two rails to join them together in a TRACK. The name is derived from fish, a wooden bar with a curved profile used to strengthen a ship’s mast. The TOP and bottom edges are TAPERED inwards so the device wedges itself between the top and bottom of the rail when it is bolted into place.
