Correct Answer: Option A — Counter bored

A counterbore is a cylindrical flat-bottomed hole that enlarges another hole, typically used to allow a bolt head or nut to sit flush with or below the surface. This feature is common in marine machinery to prevent snagging and ensure proper seating of fasteners.
