Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Finishing symbols are added to groove weld symbols to indicate the desired finish of the weld. A flush or convex finish requires a contour symbol to be added, such as a flat, convex, or concave contour symbol. The size, joint preparation, and root opening symbols do not indicate the desired finish of the weld.
