    • 1.80 m

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.20 m
    Explanation
    The minimum width of a walkway is 1.20 m. This width allows for comfortable passage of individuals and ensures that there is enough space for people to walk side by side without feeling crowded. A narrower width could lead to congestion and make it difficult for people to pass each other, while a wider width may not be necessary and could result in wasted space. Therefore, 1.20 m is considered the minimum width for a walkway.
