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

400 mm
450 mm
500 mm
550 mm

The correct answer is: 500 mm

The minimum clearance required for a toilet in a residential building is 500 mm. This is the minimum distance between the front of the toilet bowl and any obstruction in front of it, such as a wall or cabinet. Option A (400 mm) is too small and could potentially create an uncomfortable and cramped space for the user. Option B (450 mm) is also too small and does not meet the minimum clearance requirement. Option D (550 mm) is larger than the minimum requirement and may not be necessary, especially in smaller bathrooms. It is important to follow building codes and regulations to ensure proper functionality and comfort for users.
