What is the maximum difference in height between stepped platforms for school-age children without an alternate means of egress?

12 inches
18 inches
20 inches
6 feet

The correct answer is: 18 inches

The maximum difference in height between stepped platforms for school-age children without an alternate means of egress is 18 inches. Options A, C, and D are not the correct answer because they exceed the recommended maximum height difference of 18 inches. Option A has the minimum value of 12 inches, which is under the recommended maximum. Option C has a higher value of 20 inches, which exceeds the recommended maximum. Option D is significantly higher with the value of 6 feet, which is not safe or feasible for school-age children. Therefore, option B, with a value of 18 inches, is the most suitable and safe answer.
