This question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

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

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Vertical shores

The best I can explain: In vertical shores, the folding wedges, sole plate, dogs and braces are used. A Raking shore may be provided as an additional safety especially in case of weak walls.
