AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Wedge. Wedges are used to tightly make up the difference in length of a shore that is cut slightly shorter than the measured distance for the required length. Wedges must be frequently checked for tightness to ensure the shore is properly secured and supporting the structure. The other options are incorrect because: Shole is not a term used for shoring materials, a strong back is a structural support rather than a securing method, and a beam is a horizontal supporting member rather than a securing device for a shore.
