What is the minimum number of exits required for a commercial building with a capacity of 1000 people?

The correct answer is: 3

The minimum number of exits required for a commercial building with a capacity of 1000 people is three. This is because according to building codes and safety regulations, there must be at least two exits on opposite sides of the building for emergency purposes. The third exit is needed in case one of the two main exits becomes inaccessible. Option A (1 exit) and B (2 exits) are both incorrect as they do not meet the minimum requirement of two exits. Option D (4 exits) may seem like a viable option, but it is unnecessary and would add additional costs to the construction of the building. Therefore, the minimum number of exits required for a commercial building with a capacity of 1000 people is three.
