The important idea is how an aircraft’s evacuation capacity is built into its door layout. There are four cabin exit doors, and they are all floor-level doors equipped with emergency slides. This configuration—two exits on each side, one pair near the front and one pair near the rear—provides the necessary egress capacity for a rapid, safe evacuation. Type C floor-level doors are the standard passenger doors that open from the cabin level and deploy slides automatically for quick exit. The other options imply different counts or door types that don’t match this layout and safety setup, so they aren’t consistent with a four-door, floor-level, slide-equipped configuration.
