Why This Is the Correct Answer
Count the spaces along the run, then include the starting item.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 31 studs
31 studs is below the supported result for metal stud layout; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option B: 33 studs
33 studs is above the supported result for metal stud layout; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Option D: 34 studs
34 studs is above the supported result for metal stud layout; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Memory Technique
