What is the maximum allowable height for a deck in a commercial building?

  1. 1.0 meter

  2. 1.5 meters

  3. 2.0 meters

  4. 2.5 meters

The correct answer is: 2.0 meters

A, B, and D are incorrect because they all exceed the standard maximum height for a deck in a commercial building. Building codes typically allow for maximum heights between 1.2-1.5 meters for decks in commercial buildings, so 2.0 meters is the closest and most reasonable option. Additionally, taller decks can pose increased safety risks and require additional support and reinforcement, making them less feasible for commercial buildings.
