Half brick thick
One brick thick
One and a half bricks thick
Two bricks thick
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. One brick thick
A single Flemish bond is a type of brickwork where every other course of bricks is laid in stretcher bond, with the header bricks in the intervening courses laid at right angles to the stretchers. This type of bond is strong and provides good weatherproofing, making it suitable for use in walls that are one brick thick.
A half brick thick wall is not

strong enough to support a single Flemish bond, as the header bricks would not be able to provide adequate support. A one and a half brick thick wall would be strong enough to support a single Flemish bond, but it would be more expensive to build than a one brick thick wall. A two brick thick wall is overkill for a single Flemish bond, as it would be much stronger than necessary.
In conclusion, the minimum thickness of wall where single Flemish bond can be used is one brick thick.
