There are a few of different things that impact it:

  1. The width of the statement column
  2. The width attribute of the cells in the tr.answers row
  3. The left/right padding of the cells the tr.answers row
  4. The font size of the text in those cells

The easiest way would be to change it’s width using ‘%’ operator to maintain it throughout devices or any device like below:

jQuery('.c4').css('width','5%')

Where do you find “Customize”? Could you perhaps show with a print screen? I can’t seem to find it. Thanks!
