NOT a component of means of egress?

• A. Exit corridors
• B. Exit termination
• C. Exit passageways
• D. Exit access

Answer: (B)

The route people use to get from an occupied space to a safe area is called the means of egress, and it’s built from three parts: exit access, the exit itself, and exit discharge. Exit access includes spaces like corridors and passageways that lead to an exit. The end of the path, where you reach the exterior or a safe area, is the exit discharge. A term like exit termination isn’t part of the standard terminology for means of egress. So the option that doesn’t fit is exit termination—the others (exit corridors, exit passageways, and exit access) describe recognizable elements of the means of egress.
