What is a transition fit in terms of mating parts?
A. A fit where the parts are very loose and have a significant gap between them.
B. A fit where the parts are almost the same size, with very small differences in size, achieved with finely finished and accurate surfaces.
C. A fit where one part is larger than the other, causing interference and no movement.
B. A fit where the parts are almost the same size, with very small differences in size, achieved with finely finished and accurate surfaces.
