Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (a) Dowels

To explain I would say: The contraction joints are installed to allow for shrinkage movement in the structure. It MAY either be a COMPLETE contraction joint or a partial CONSTRUCTION joint. In the former case, there is complete discontinuity of both concrete and steel.
