Which term refers to the basic equipment needed to weld with oxygen and fuel gas?

• A. Welding table
• B. Ventilation
• C. Lighting
• D. The basic equipment needed to weld with oxygen and fuel gas

Answer: (D)

In oxy-fuel welding, the fundamental idea is the complete set of equipment needed to perform the welding with oxygen and a fuel gas. This “basic equipment” includes the gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, the welding torch and tips, gauges, and the safety gear like goggles or a face shield. It’s the entire gas-welding setup, not just a part of the process. The other options describe a work surface, safety environment, or lighting—important, but they aren’t the term for the equipment kit itself. So the best fit is the term that denotes the basic equipment needed to weld with oxygen and fuel gas.
