Which description matches a mast arm or sidewalk guy?

Pole hardware used to support and stabilize lines is the idea here. A mast arm is the horizontal piece that extends from the pole to carry the conductors away from the pole, providing the needed clearance and sag. A sidewalk guy is a guy wire that anchors the pole to the ground to keep it stable, especially in dense urban areas near sidewalks. The term describes the hardware itself rather than the pole, a cross-arm, or the conductor, so it best matches what’s being asked. In short, these terms identify a specific piece of hardware used in the pole-top assembly and its stabilizing function.
