What is the term used for the link that appears at the top of the Google search results?

A Featured Snippet is a special box at the top of Google's search results page. It is designed to directly answer a user's question by pulling relevant information from a webpage and displaying it prominently. This format includes a summary of the answer, a link to the page, the page title, and the URL. Its prime position above the standard organic search results aims to provide users with a quick, direct answer to their query.

A. Sponsored Link: This is a paid advertisement and is always explicitly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Ad." It is not the only type of link at the top.

B. Header: This is a general web design term for the top section of a webpage, not a specific element within Google's search results.

C. Footer: This is a web design term for the bottom section of a webpage, which is the opposite of the location described.
