Consider an attempt to lift a row of books on a shelf by pressing against each end and lifting. If enough pressure is exerted inward from both ends, there is sufficient compression to lift all of the books at once. The principle applied to the book shelf is the same as that applied to which category of precast concrete?
A. Reinforced concrete products
B. Tension concrete products
C. Prestressed concrete products
D. Rebar-strengthened concrete products
Answer: C
