A higher slenderness ratio indicates a less stable member and a greater risk of buckling. The AISC Specification limits the slenderness ratio of compression members to 200 to ensure that they are adequately stable.<\/p>\n<p>Option A, 180, is too low. A slenderness ratio of 180 would indicate a very stable member and would not be necessary for most applications.<\/p>\n<p>Option B, 200, is the correct answer. This is the value specified in the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Option C, 250, is too high. A slenderness ratio of 250 would indicate a less stable member and would be more likely to buckle.<\/p>\n<p>Option D, 350, is much too high.
