Which of the following would NOT be a potential issue with posts and columns within a structure?

  1. The column or post may be undersized.

  2. The footing, on which the post or column is situated, may have been undersized.

  3. The post or column is built out of plumb.

  4. The post or column is situated on an oversized footing.

The correct answer is: The post or column is situated on an oversized footing.

The correct answer is D because having a post or column situated on an oversized footing would not typically be a potential issue within a structure. An oversized footing provides more stability and support for the post or column, which can actually be beneficial in ensuring the structural integrity of the building. On the other hand, options A, B, and C present potential issues with posts and columns. If a column or post is undersized (option A) or if the footing is undersized (option B), it can compromise the structural strength and stability of the building. Additionally, if a post or column is built out of plumb (option C), meaning it is not perfectly vertical, it can affect the overall stability of the structure.
