ACounter bored
BCountersunk
CCounter drilled
DSpot faced
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Counter bored. A counter bore is a type of hole that is enlarged at one end, creating a stepped profile. This is often used to accommodate the head of a fastener, like a bolt or screw, so that it sits flush with the surface. The other answer choices are incorrect: B) Countersunk refers to a hole that is tapered at one end, rather than enlarged. C) Counter drilled is not a standard term, and does not accurately describe the illustrated feature. D) Spot faced refers to creating a flat surface around a hole, rather than enlarging the hole itself.
