I lean towards C) 1/2 in. Firebricks can handle more than we think.

I feel like it should be A) 1/4 in. Anything more seems risky.

I remember the instructor mentioning that anything over 1/4 in. is usually a concern, so I’m leaning towards that option.

I’m a bit confused; I thought it might be 3/8 in. based on what we discussed in class, but I can't recall clearly.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like the maximum allowable crack length was around 1/2 in.

I think I remember something about crack lengths in firebricks, but I'm not entirely sure if it's 1/4 in. or 3/8 in.
