The wire in the strands in the rope that are laid in the same direction are called?

• A. Wires
• B. Strands
• C. Cores
• D. Lay

Answer: (A)

Wires are the individual conductors that make up a strand; they’re laid in the same direction to form that strand, giving the rope its strength and flexibility. The term "strands" refers to the bundles of wires, the "core" is the central element of the rope, and "lay" describes the direction in which the strands are twisted relative to each other.
