Question 23

The sill plate is the framing member that sits directly on the concrete foundation with a gasket between it and the foundation wall. Bottom plate is part of wall framing above, top plate is upper, foundation plate is not the standard term here.

Jack studs are shorter than cripple and common studs and sit below a window plate. King studs are longer, Queen is not correct here.

Bridging is solid blocking in a wall system for stability, stiffening, and fire stop. Firestopping is about fire protection, bracing is for support, girts are in framing but not this role.

Answer:

c. sill plate
