Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: MTA

Explanation

The official final key gives marks to all. Stadium roof coverings can involve different membranes, phases and components, and the supplied option set was not retained as a uniquely graded technical classification. Preserve MTA. PTFE-coated glass fabric is a tensile membrane material; it should not be confused with ETFE foil or every translucent stadium roof.
