Every dwelling unit must have at least one egress door that provides a clear width of not less than what, and a clear height of not less than 78 inches?
a.28 inches
b.32 inches
c.36 inches
d.24 inches
Explanation
The required egress door must give a clear opening width of at least 32 inches (with the door open 90 degrees) and a clear height of 78 inches. 28 and 24 inches are too narrow to satisfy the required egress width, and 36 inches exceeds the minimum though it is not the code-stated figure.
