Question 300General Subjects - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) parts aligned for the correct order of reassembly. An exploded view drawing is specifically designed to show the individual components of an assembled unit and how they fit together, in the proper order for reassembly. The parts are separated and arranged to clearly illustrate the relationship between each component and the overall assembly. This allows the user to easily identify and replace parts, or properly reassemble the unit after disassembly. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose of an exploded view drawing. Option A refers to simply counting the total parts, option C describes a different type of perspective drawing, and option D would not show the full assembly relationships between the components.
