AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) seam. The joint formed when two steel shell plates are placed longitudinally side to side is called a seam. This is the standard term used in shipbuilding and marine engineering to describe this type of joint between steel plates. The other options are incorrect because: A) Bevel refers to a slanted or angled edge, not the joint between plates. B) Bond is a general term for a connection, but does not specifically describe this type of longitudinal joint. C) Strake refers to a continuous row of steel plates, not the joint between them.
