In a single-family dwelling, the extended (spread out) part of the bottom of the exterior of the foundation is called the:

  1. Base

  2. Footing

  3. Foundation

  4. Pier

The correct answer is: Base

The option B, footing, is incorrect because a footing is the underground structure that supports the foundation, not the extended part that is above ground. The option C, foundation, is incorrect because the foundation refers to the entire structure that supports the building, not just the extended part at the bottom. The option D, pier, is incorrect because a pier is a vertical structure that supports weight from above, whereas the extended part at the bottom of a foundation is a horizontal structure. This makes option A, base, the correct answer.
