Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Swaging tools can be used to expand an end of one tube to fit onto a tube of the same original outside diameter.

A swaging tool physically expands the end of a copper tube so that an identical diameter tube can slip inside it, creating a strong joint for brazing or soldering.
