D Correct answer
Explanation

$\text{The strength of the brazed joint depend on (a) joint desing and (b) the adhesion at the interfaces between the workpiece and the filler metal.} \\ \text{The strength of the brazed joint increases up to certain gap between the two joining surfaces beyond which it decreases}$
