Eye bolts, anchor bolts, and self tapping bolts are all types of?

• A. Gaskets
• B. Valves
• C. Fasteners
• D. Hoses

Answer: (C)

Eye bolts, anchor bolts, and self-tapping bolts are all types of fasteners. Fasteners are the parts used to join or secure components together, typically by gripping with threads, holes, or interlocking shapes. Eye bolts provide a threaded shaft with a loop for attaching ropes or chains, and they secure connections where lifting or tethering is needed. Anchor bolts are embedded into concrete or masonry to anchor structural elements, transferring loads into the substrate. Self-tapping bolts are designed to cut their own threads as they’re driven into material, making a secure hold without needing a pre-threaded hole.

Gaskets seal joints between surfaces, valves control the flow of liquids or gases, and hoses transport fluids or air. None of those primarily serve to hold parts together, which is why they aren’t the right category here.
