An access component is needed if the difference in platform height is more than ____ for pre-school age.

  1. 12 inches

  2. 18 inches

  3. 20 inches

  4. 30 inches

The correct answer is: 12 inches

The reason why A is correct is that the recommended maximum height difference for pre-school age is 12 inches. Options B, C, and D are all higher than the recommended maximum height difference, which would make it difficult for preschool-aged children to access the different platforms. It is important to have an access component in place for any height difference greater than 12 inches to ensure the safety and accessibility of young children.
