What is the minimum height required for a handrail on a stairway in a residential building?

750 mm
850 mm
950 mm
1050 mm

The correct answer is: 750 mm

A handrail on a stairway in a residential building needs to have a minimum height of 750 mm. This is to provide adequate support and safety for individuals using the stairs. Options B, C, and D are all higher than the minimum requirement and could potentially be difficult for some people to reach or hold onto, while option A meets the minimum standard for handrail height.
