• C. Cutting along its horizontal plane into pieces, each piece resulting in equal thinner thickness.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Cutting along its horizontal plane into pieces, each piece resulting in equal thinner thickness.

After trimming, the hide is horizontally cut into pieces, each having similar thickness. This is called Splitting. It is the same as cutting a thick cardboard into two thinner sheets.
