Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) 900

Explanation

The stated clear opening is 900 mm, B. “Clear” refers to unobstructed passage width with the door open, rather than the nominal frame or shutter size. A wider circulation space may be required for manoeuvring, but that is a separate dimension.
