Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: 20-30 mm.
When preparing to strike an arc, the electrode tip should be positioned approximately 20-30 mm above the intended starting point. This distance allows the welder to stabilize their position and prepare for the initial strike while minimizing the risk of accidental arcing or sticking.
