Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

long extended cabinets and cabinets above the fridge would be hard for them to reach. If they are placed above the stove, you risk something falling out and catching on fire. So B would be the best answer :)

Answer:

B) basic counter tops that are easily accessible

Step-by-step explanation:

The elderly are slowly growing more weak as they age. it'd be common sense to make things easier for them so they don't do something on accident and hurt themselves. it is a safety measure after all
