Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) Four-jaw chuck; (C) Drill bit

Explanation

An independent four-jaw chuck sets the disc off-center so the intended hole center aligns with the spindle. A drill then generates the hole. A self-centering three-jaw chuck cannot provide that eccentric setting, and a single-point tool is not required for the specified drilling. **B,C**.
