Answer:

d. 45°

Explanation:

You want to know which from your list is a standard elbow angle.

Elbow

An elbow is a pipe fitting that is used to change the direction of piping. Elbows can be used together to produce an offset and/or a change in the plane of the piping.

Standard elbow angles commonly are 90°, 45°, and, less commonly, 22.5°. The greater the angle, and/or the smaller the bend radius, the more resistance to flow it has.

The best choice of answer here is 45°.

Additional comment

The typical elbow has the same kind of threads on both sides. A "street elbow" has male threads on one side and female threads on the other side.

Elbow joints are not necessarily threaded. They may also be soldered, welded, or compression joints.
