Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Refuge area; (B) Water sprinkler system; (C) Panic bar; (A) Refuge area; (B) Water sprinkler system; (C) Panic bar; (D) Atrium

Explanation

Refuge areas support protected waiting, sprinklers suppress fire, and panic bars facilitate escape, so A, B, C. An atrium is a spatial building term with important smoke/fire-design implications. The official final key accepts either exactly A, B, C or A, B, C, D. Both complete answer sets are retained separately; this is not a requirement to select D.
