What is the minimum clearance required for a toilet in a residential building?

  1. 400 mm

  2. 450 mm

  3. 500 mm

  4. 550 mm

The correct answer is: 500 mm

Residential buildings typically have a standard minimum clearance requirement of 500 mm for toilets. This is to ensure adequate space for the user to comfortably sit, as well as for any necessary plumbing and installation. Options A, B, and D do not meet this standard and would be considered incorrect choices.
