    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Lamellar tearing is a cracking phenomenon, which occurs beneath welds, and is principally found in rolled steel plate fabrications. The tearings always lies within the parent plate, often outside the transformed (visible) heat- affected zone (HAZ), and is generally parallel to the weld fusion boundary.
