What is the minimum height for handrails on wheelchair-accessible ramps that require barriers?

20 inches
22 inches
24 inches
26 inches

The correct answer is: 26 inches

The minimum height for handrails on wheelchair-accessible ramps are specified by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and must be at least 26 inches high. This is to ensure that individuals using wheelchairs can easily grip the handrail while ascending or descending the ramp. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not meet the minimum height requirement set by the ADA. Option A may be too low for individuals in wheelchairs to comfortably reach, while options B and C may not provide enough support or stability for individuals using the ramp. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
