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

  1. 12 inches

  2. 18 inches

  3. 20 inches

  4. 30 inches

The correct answer is: 18 inches

The other options are incorrect because they show a platform height that is either lower (A and C) or higher (D) than the recommended difference for school-age children. An access component is only needed if the difference in platform height is more than 18 inches for school-age children. This is because a difference greater than 18 inches can pose safety and accessibility concerns for young children.
