- Option A: Socket joint is widely used in plumbing for water supply lines at low pressure.
- Option B: Nipple joint is typically a short piece of pipe used to connect two fittings but is not a joint type by itself.
- Option C: Union joint is used where frequent dismantling is required, more suitable for maintenance purposes.
