A means of egress consists of:

• A. Exit corridor
• B. Exit entry
• C. Exit discharge
• D. Exit destination

Answer: (C)

Means of egress are the routes people use to escape a building, and they’re made up of three parts: exit access (the path from the occupied space to the exit), the exit itself (the protected opening or area), and exit discharge (the portion from the exit to the exterior or public way). The option shown is the defined segment that completes the path to the outside—the area beyond the final exit doors leading to the exterior. Exit corridor is part of exit access, not the whole means of egress. Exit entry and exit destination aren’t standard terms in this framework. In practice, you’d move from the occupied space through exit access to the exit, and then through the exit discharge to the outside.
