A through stone is a bond stone that goes through the full thickness of the wall.
Step-by-step solution
1. Find the term for a stone that runs from the front face to the back face of a wall. 2. This stone ties both faces together and is called a through stone (bond stone). 3. So the answer is (B).
Explanation
A through stone is a long stone placed across the full thickness of the wall. It binds the front and back faces together and makes the wall strong. It is also called a bond stone.
Why the other options are wrong
A: Template is a stone or block placed under a beam to spread the load. C: Throating is a groove under a sill or projection that stops water from flowing back. D: Grouting means filling joints or voids with thin cement slurry.

Common mistake
Confusing the through stone with the template, which only spreads beam load.
Correct answer: B) Through stone
