What technique can be used to execute single braids?

  1. Only underhand

  2. Only overhand

  3. Either underhand or overhand

  4. Neither techniques

The correct answer is: Either underhand or overhand

Executing single braids requires the use of both underhand and overhand techniques. Doing it with only underhand or overhand will not create the desired braid, as it requires alternating between the two techniques to create the distinctive pattern. Option A and B are therefore incorrect as they limit the technique to only one type. Option D is also incorrect as it states that neither technique is used, which is not true for executing single braids.
