Final answer:

The correct answer is the 'double vee groove weld' since each steel plate has a bevel cut and, when joined, they create a V-shape on both sides for welding.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two steel plates are to be welded together and each plate has a bevel cut on the face to be welded, the type of weld that will be made is a double vee groove weld.

In a double vee groove weld, both plates have a beveled edge that creates a V-shape on each plate. When joined together, they form an X, which allows for welding to occur on both the inside and outside faces of the plates. This type of weld provides good joint penetration and is commonly used in situations where the weld needs to be strong.

The other options, such as a single bevel groove weld or a flare bevel groove weld, do not match the description of both plates having a bevel cut. A simple vee groove weld would involve only one plate having the vee profile, and a double bevel groove weld is slightly different as it implies that the bevels are not as pronounced as in a double vee.
