I practiced a similar question, and I think it was about minimizing spatter. That makes me lean towards D) Spray transfer, but I need to double-check my notes.

I feel like globular transfer is more about larger drops, so it can't be the answer. Maybe it's A) Pulsed droplet transfer?
OR
Orville 7 months ago
I recall that pulsed droplet transfer has something to do with controlling the heat, but I can't remember if that's the right one for this question.
GE
