What is the gap at the bottom for a school-age guardrail over 30 inches and less than or equal to 48 inches?

  1. Less than 9 inches

  2. Greater than 9 inches and less than or equal to 28 inches

  3. Less than 3.5 inches

  4. Greater than or equal to 23 inches

The correct answer is: Greater than 9 inches and less than or equal to 28 inches

The gap at the bottom for a school-age guardrail must be greater than 9 inches and less than or equal to 28 inches. Option A is incorrect because it specifies the gap must be less than 9 inches, which is not enough space for safety. Option C is also incorrect because it specifies the gap must be less than 3.5 inches, which is too small for a school-age guardrail. Option D is incorrect because it specifies the gap must be greater than or equal to 23 inches, which is too large and could potentially be a hazard for children.
