Solution

The correct option is B 8 wires
The Magnel-Balton post-tensioning system adopts metallic sandwich plates, flat wedges, and a distribution plate for anchoring the wires. Each sandwich plate can house up to four pairs of wires. The distribution plate may be cast into the member at the desired location. The number of wires in the Magnel cable varies from 2 to 64.
