(b) [q2^‘]

(c) [q1^‘,q2^‘,q3^‘]^T

(d) [q1^‘,q2^‘]^T

I have been asked this question in an online quiz.

The correct option is (d) [q1^‘,q2^‘]^T

For explanation: Local co-ordinates are measurement indices into a local co-ordinate system or local co-ordinate space. Nodes will have nodal displacements or degrees of freedom which may include translations, rotations, and for special applications, higher order derivatives of displacements.
