Correct answer: (A) a is flatness; b is parallelism
Explanation
Flatness is the minimum separation of two parallel planes enclosing the surface, without requiring orientation to a datum. That is the tilted envelope marked a. Parallelism constrains the envelope to be parallel to the datum; its separation is b. Therefore **A**.
