Guardrail/Barrier is not required for pre-school age if fall height is less than:

  1. 20 inches

  2. 30 inches

  3. 12 inches

  4. 18 inches

The correct answer is: 20 inches

Fall height refers to the distance between the highest standing surface and the ground below. In this case, a guardrail or barrier is not required for pre-school age children if the fall height is less than 20 inches. This is because pre-school age children are generally not tall enough or strong enough to reach or climb over a barrier at this height, making it unnecessary. B, C, and D are incorrect options because they all suggest fall heights that are higher than 20 inches, which would pose a potential safety hazard for pre-school age children. Therefore, they are not the correct answer.
