Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
WWF stands for Welded Wide Flange Shapes. It refers to a type of structural steel beam that is formed by welding together two flanges and a web. The welded joints provide added strength and stability to the beam, making it ideal for use in construction projects. While the other options may seem plausible, they either do not include the term "welded" or use the incorrect term "wide web" instead of "wide flange."
