Auniversal turning tools
Bparting tools
Cform tools
Dcurvature cutting tools
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) form tools. Form tools are specifically designed to create a specific shape or profile on the workpiece, such as grooves, fillets, or other complex contours. This matches the illustration GS-0090, which depicts lathe tools used for creating specialized shapes, making form tools the most appropriate answer. The other options are incorrect because: A) universal turning tools are general-purpose lathe tools used for basic turning operations, B) parting tools are used to separate or part off the workpiece, and D) curvature cutting tools is not a commonly used term for lathe tools.
