What is the gap at the bottom for a pre-school age guardrail over 20 inches and less than or equal to 30 inches?

  1. Less than 9 inches

  2. Greater than 9 inches

  3. Less than 3.5 inches

  4. Greater than or equal to 23 inches

The correct answer is: Greater than or equal to 23 inches

A and B are incorrect because they exceed the accepted measurements of 20-30 inches. C is incorrect because it is not within the accepted range of 20-30 inches. D is the correct answer because it falls within the accepted range and meets the requirement of being greater than or equal to 23 inches. The gap at the bottom of the pre-school age guardrail should be at least 23 inches, as specified in the question. This ensures that the guardrail will be effective in preventing young children from slipping through and potentially falling. Options A and B are incorrect because they exceed the accepted measurements of 20-30 inches. Option C is also incorrect because it is outside of the accepted range. Choosing option D is the best way to ensure the safety of young children using the guardrail.
