For barriers greater than 30 inches for pre-school age and greater than 48 inches for school-age, what is the maximum gap allowed at the bottom?

9 inches
28 inches
3.5 inches
23 inches

The correct answer is: 3.5 inches

Barriers serve to prevent access or defense by dividing an area or by protecting it. The maximum gap allowed at the bottom of barriers is 3.5 inches. Option A is incorrect because it is too large and could allow for a child's head to become trapped. Option B is incorrect because it is too small and may not provide enough ventilation or visibility. Option D is incorrect because it is too large, which could allow for small children to slip underneath and possibly get injured.
