APrick punch
BDrift punch
CCenter punch
DAligning punch
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Drift punch. A drift punch is the appropriate tool to free a tapered pin that is "frozen" or stuck in its hole. The tapered shape of the drift punch allows it to be gently inserted into the hole and used to gradually work the pin free without damaging the surrounding material. In contrast, the other punch types listed are not well-suited for this task - a prick punch, center punch, or aligning punch would be more likely to damage the pin or hole.
