I need to ask this question from Shoring and its Types in section Scaffolding, Shoring and Underpinning of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) Flying shore

For explanation I would say: A Flying shore consists of wall plate, needles, cleats, strut, straining pieces and folding wedges. The flying shore should have a depth of not less than 1/13th of the clear span and width should not less than 1/15th of its length.
