A lap joint is always in _________ shear.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
A lap joint can experience both single and double shear.

In a single shear lap joint, the forces act in a single plane, and the joint is subjected to shear along one plane only.
In a double shear lap joint, the forces are distributed over two planes, effectively reducing the shear stress in each plane.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: Both A and B.
