Certain playground openings could cause entrapment if their size is?

  1. Less than 3.5 inches

  2. Between 3.5 and 9 inches

  3. More than 9 inches

  4. More than 12 inches

The correct answer is: Between 3.5 and 9 inches

Certain playground openings could cause entrapment if their size is between 3.5 and 9 inches. This is because children can easily get stuck in openings that are too small or too large. Options A, C, and D all fall outside of the recommended size range, making them potentially unsafe for children to use. Option A, with a maximum size of 3.5 inches, may be too small for older or larger children to fit through comfortably. Option C, with a minimum size of 9 inches, may be too large and pose a risk of entrapment for smaller children. Option D, with a minimum size of 12 inches, may be even larger and present a higher risk of entrapment. Therefore, the correct answer is B as it falls within the recommended size range to prevent entrapment.
