Answer»

The correct option is (d) It introduces a crevice into the weld geometry

The best I can explain: Back-up strip is provided at the bottom of single-V/bevel/J or U grooves. It is commonly provided when WELDING is done from ONE SIDE or when the ROOT opening is excessive. It introduces a crevice into the weld geometry and prevents the problem of burn-through.
