Solution

From the figure, clearly it is (an unstiffened) bolted top and seat connection. Here, the top angle only provides lateral support (prevents beam from accidental rotations). And, design of this connection generally is based on the assumption that the seat angle carries the full beam reaction.

Beam shear is transferred to column in the form of of end reaction (vertical). Hence, answer for your question is (B) Angle B and Bolt F
