Answer»

Correct OPTION is (a) Internal elements are elements attached ALONG both longitudinal edges to other elements

For EXPLANATION I would say: Internal elements are elements attached along both longitudinal edges to other elements or to longitudinal stiffeners connected at suitable intervals to transverse stiffeners connected at suitable intervals totransverse stiffeners (e.g. web of I-SECTIONS and flange and web of box sections). Outstanding elements are attached along only one of the longitudinal edges to an adjacent element, the other edge being free to displace out of plan (e.g. flange overhang of an I-section, stem of T-section, LEG of angle section).
