Correct answer:

A. 20 amps

Look in the index of NFPA 70 under Welders, electric. Scan Article 630 for the bold print heading “Resistance Welders-Part III.” Refer to 630.31(A)(1) which requires that the ampacity of supply conductors for this type of welder be calculated at not less than 50 percent of the rated primary current for manually operated nonautomatic welders.

40 amps x 50% = 20 amps.
