What is the female section of a tool joint called?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Box

In drill pipe connections, the box is the female-threaded end of the tool joint. It is designed to receive the male-threaded pin end of the adjacent drill pipe section. Proper maintenance and inspection of these connections are essential to prevent fatigue failure and parting of the drill string.
