The answer is C.

Modes of failure in riveted joints can be summarized as:
1) Tearing of the plates between the hole if they are very near to each other.
2) Tearing of plate between the edge of the plate and rivet hole if the hole is too near the edge.
3) Shearing the rivet if the diameter is smaller than necessary.
