Which of the following shoring materials is a short flat block that is placed under the end of a shore for the purpose of distributing pressure?

Correct Answer: Option C — Shole

A shole is a flat, load-distributing block placed under the end of a shore. By increasing the surface area of contact, it prevents the shore from punching through or damaging the deck or bulkhead, effectively spreading the structural load over a wider, more stable area.
