Excessive stress on fluid or pneumatic metal tubing caused by expansion and contraction due to temperature changes can best be avoided by
- providing bends in the tubing.
- avoiding long straight sections of tubing between fixed parts of the structure of the aircraft.
- Both answers above are correct.
Explanation
Thermal expansion and contraction is best accommodated by both providing bends in the run (which flex to absorb movement) and avoiding long rigid straight sections clamped between fixed points (which would build up stress). Since each measure contributes, the correct response is that both are correct.

The answer should be 'providing bends in the tubing.

I also feel it should be providing bends in the tubing

Hi guys.
Actually both answers are correct. I have adjusted this question accordingly.
