Which of the following is not a requirement for exterior balconies in a multi-unit residential building?

Minimum width of 1.5 meters
Minimum depth of 1.2 meters
Minimum clearance of 1.0 meter from any building face
Minimum height of 2.0 meters above the ground

The correct answer is: Minimum height of 2.0 meters above the ground

Exterior balconies in a multi-unit residential building must meet certain requirements for safety and usability. The minimum width and depth ensure that the balcony is large enough for occupants to comfortably use. The minimum clearance from any building face ensures that there is enough space for safe maneuvering. The minimum height of 2.0 meters above the ground is incorrect because it is not a required feature for exterior balconies. It is possible that this option is included to prevent potential safety hazards, but it is not a specific requirement for exterior balconies in multi-unit residential buildings. Instead, the height of the balcony may vary depending on the design and construction of the building.
