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

1.0 meter
1.5 meters
2.0 meters
2.5 meters

The correct answer is: 1.5 meters

The maximum allowable height for a deck in a commercial building is 1.5 meters. This is because building codes have restrictions on the maximum height of outdoor decks for safety reasons. Option A (1.0 meter) is too low and may not be practical for use. Option C (2.0 meters) and D (2.5 meters) are both too high and can pose a safety risk for users. It is important to adhere to building codes and guidelines to ensure the safety of individuals using the deck.
