Aswaging
Bflaring
Cstretching
Dbelling
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) swaging. Swaging is the process of enlarging the end of a tube or pipe so that another tube or pipe of the same size can be inserted into it. This is commonly done in plumbing and other metalworking applications to create a secure, leak-proof connection between two tubes. The other options are incorrect because: B) Flaring refers to expanding the end of a tube outward, not enlarging it to fit another tube inside. C) Stretching means lengthening the tube, not enlarging the end. D) Belling is a similar process to swaging, but it specifically refers to enlarging the end of a plastic pipe, not a metal tube.
