Correct Answer:

Starter Strips Help Properly Align Shingles and Ensure Secure Fastening at the Roof's Edge

Explanation:

Starter strips set the reference edge for the first row of shingles, ensuring they line up correctly and are fastened securely along the roof edge. This proper alignment is crucial for a clean, even course and for resisting wind uplift at the eaves. While they do provide a straight edge and defined fastening points, the main purpose is reliable alignment and secure attachment of the first course. Decorative trim and directing water away are not the primary roles of starter strips.
