Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Slotting requires a reciprocating cutting motion perpendicular to the workpiece, which is characteristic of slotting machines or vertical machining centers. A lathe operates with rotational workholding and continuous cutting along the workpiece's surface, making slotting impossible on standard lathes. Turning, knurling, and facing are all standard lathe operations.
