Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) Transition fit

Explanation

Hole limits are 24.999–25.002 mm; shaft limits are 24.997–25.001 mm. Maximum clearance = 25.002−24.997 = 0.005 mm; minimum clearance = 24.999−25.001 = −0.002 mm. Either clearance or interference can occur, so **transition fit, C**.
