Answer
Brief Explanations:
In Shielded Metal - Arc Welding (SMAW), the power supply is adjusted by setting the amperage. Flow rate is related to gas - shielding in some welding processes but not in adjusting SMAW power supply. Wire feed speed is for wire - feeding welding processes like GMAW, not SMAW which uses a stick electrode. Voltage is not the main parameter set on an SMAW power supply; amperage controls the heat input and arc characteristics.
Answer:
C. Amperage
