Are you sure that it doesn't say maximum size solid?

I’m sure it say minimum. So that’s why I’m a little lost. I’ve looked everywhere The most common answer was 10awg but this practice exam Answer is bothering me

I can assure you that either the question is incorrect or the answers given are incorrect.

This question has been wrong for quite some time..

Conductor Code Question

One of my students received this code question in an online practice quiz and I want to see how many other agree with my interpretation of the answer. My student chose #12 as the correct answer, his answer came back as incorrect. According to quiz the answer is C.# 8, I disagree, any thoughts...

Sure !
Like ozman I find the question confusing.... There are some minimum sizes mentioned in the Code but #10 or #12 don;'t fit that bill.
I would vote on an error in the question and base the answer on 310.106.
Stranded Conductors.Where installed in raceways,conductors 8 AWG and larger, not specifically permitted or required elsewhere in this Code to be solid, shall be stranded.

If this is Mike Holt's material there is usually a list of errors either for questions or answers. These lists are made up after the reporting/discovering of the errors. Since the material is already sent out, there is no way to change it so they publish a list of errors with the corrections made. I feel certain the OP's question fits that narrative.

Ok well thank you guys For the reply’s. If it does show up I’ll choose 10awg. Hope it’s right. Can you appeal a question if it cost you that one point to get passed? Lol
