AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Stab saw. A stab saw, also known as a jab saw, is a specialized saw designed for cutting metal in tight spaces or flush to a surface. It has a thin, rigid blade that can be easily maneuvered and inserted into tight areas where a traditional hacksaw frame would not fit. This makes it a more suitable tool for cutting metal in confined spaces compared to other saws like the coping saw, hole saw, or back saw, which are not as well-suited for this type of application. The other options, such as a coping saw, hole saw, or back saw, are not as effective for cutting metal in tight quarters or flush to a surface. A coping saw is better suited for intricate, curved cuts in wood, a hole saw is designed for creating circular holes, and a back saw is typically used for fine, precise cuts in woodworking, but they would not be as practical for the given scenario involving metal cutting in confined spaces.
