Figma - Frames and Layout

AThe gutter width is set to zero or too small

BThe column count is set to 1 instead of 3

CThe layout grid is set to Rows instead of Columns

DThe frame width is too large

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand column overlap cause
If gutters are zero or very small, columns will touch or overlap.
Step 2: Check other options for relevance
Wrong column count or grid type causes different issues, not overlap. Large frame width won't cause overlap.
Final Answer:
The gutter width is set to zero or too small -> Option A
Quick Check:
Small gutter = overlap [OK]

Quick Trick: Check gutter size if columns overlap [OK]
