Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The choice that best fits the description is D, radial grain. This is because the board was cut along a radius, which means that the grain is running from the center of the tree outward. Longitudinal grain refers to grain running parallel to the length of the tree, tangential grain refers to grain running perpendicular to the growth rings, and central grain is not a common term used to describe the orientation of wood grain.
