The shear stress in a plane inclined at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal for a double transverse fillet weld can be calculated using the formula $\tau = \frac{P \sin \theta (\sin \theta + \cos \theta)}{hl}$, where $P$ is the force acting per unit length, $h$ is the leg of the weld, and $l$ is the length of the weld. Given that the force acting is $2P$, the formula adjusts to account for this, leading to the correct expression as provided in option A.
