Correct Answer

A) One bolt per connection, drawn up wrench-tight

Under 1926.756(b), the stated bolted minimum is one wrench-tight bolt at each connection; an equivalent may be specified by the structural engineer of record. This provision does not mean one bolt satisfies every final connection design or every project-specific erection condition.
