Hinged Joint: The traverse warping joints are provided to relieve tensile stresses included due to warping, these are known as hinged joints.

So option A is correct.

I think its expansion joint.

Contraction joints are for tension strees.

I agree @Aniruddh.

The correct option should be A because expensive joints are provided for relieving the stresses due to expansion which is compressive.
