Which condition describes lands with feet hip-width apart or closer but never join heels?

• A. Lands with feet further than hip-width apart
• B. Lands with feet hip-width apart or closer but never joins feet (heels)
• C. If the entire foot/feet are sliding or lifting off the floor to join, it is considered a small step
• D. Small Step (max 0.40)

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how the feet position when the foot comes down after a step. A landing where the feet end up hip-width apart or closer, and the heels never touch, represents a stable, compact landing without a heel-to-heel contact. This specific stance during landing is what the statement is describing. Why this fits best: it directly characterizes the spacing of the feet at the moment of contact—no wide spread, no heel joining. The other options describe different scenarios: a wider-than-hip-width landing changes the alignment; describing a motion where feet slide or lift to join would imply bringing the heels together; and a small-step length focuses on how far you move, not the exact landing placement.
