What connects the bogie to the aircraft structure?

Explanation:
The strut is the component that connects the wheel bogie to the aircraft structure. The bogie—the wheel assembly—hangs from the bottom end of the landing gear strut, which is the main load-bearing member attached to the airframe. This strut transmits landing loads and supports the bogie during taxi, takeoff, and landing. The other options don’t serve this direct interfacing role: a wing pylon attaches stores to the wing, a bogie link is typically a connection within the gear that links the bogie to the leg rather than to the airframe, and the gear leg refers to the whole vertical member, not the specific bridge to the structure.
