-
A.
caulking
-
B.
blocking
-
C.
stopping
-
D.
knotting
Correct Answer:
C. stopping
Explanation:
The correct answer is stopping.
In woodworking and painting, the term stopping refers to the technique of using putty or a similar filler to plug small imperfections like nail holes, cracks, or dents in new timber. This process ensures a smooth, level surface before applying the final coats of paint or finish. While caulking is used for sealing joints and knotting involves sealing resinous knots, stopping is specifically the corrective step for filling minor surface voids.
