Why This Is the Correct Answer
Midrails, screens, mesh, intermediate vertical members, and equivalent intermediate members must withstand at least 150 lb.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: At least 50 lb
In general project requirements, At least 50 lb is the wrong selection for Midrail force - load construction midrail generally withstand: At least 50 lb is the wrong OSHA fall-protection number for the item asked.
Option C: At least 200 lb
Choice C gives At least 200 lb. Its specific error: At least 200 lb is the wrong OSHA fall-protection number for the item asked.
Option D: Only hand pressure
Choice D (Only hand pressure) is rejected because it leaves the work at an informal or incomplete stage, while Midrail force - load construction midrail generally withstand requires At least 150 lb. The cited answer is At least 150 lb.
Memory Technique
Link midrail force - load construction midrail generally withstand to its book condition; a different condition means a different answer than At least 150 lb.
