Answer»

Correct option is (d) FACING bond

Easy explanation: If the facing and BACKING bricks vary in size and shape, the facing bond is adopted. The least common multiple of the THICKNESS of facing and backing bricks decides the DISTANCE between the SUCCESSIVE header courses. If the facing bricks are expensive and if it is desired to economise, the facing bond is adopted.
