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: 450 mm

The minimum clearance required for a toilet in a residential building is 450 mm. This is the measurement from the front of the toilet bowl to the nearest obstruction, such as a wall or another fixture. Options A, C, and D are all incorrect because they do not meet the minimum requirement of 450 mm. Any measurement less than 450 mm would not provide adequate space for using the toilet comfortably.
