Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (d) They are recommended in BRACING systems

To explain I would say: CABLES used as floor suspenders in suspension bridges are MADE from individual strands wound together in rope like fashion. Cables in form of wires ropes and strands are used in application where high strength is required and flexural RIGIDITY is unimportant. Cables are generally long and their flexural rigidity is negligible. They are flexible. They are not recommended in bracing systems as they cannot resist compression.
