Answer» CORRECT answer is (a) Square quoin

The best I can explain: As the term implies, right-angled or square quoin is the form of quoin which is FORMED when two WALLS meet an angle of 90°. In right angled quoin, at the same level, HEADER course on one face of angle is converted into a stretcher course on the other face of the angle. No vertical continuous JOINTS are formed in this type of quoin.
