Barrier-free environment for people with disabilities means an environment ...............................
Answer: D
A barrier-free environment is one that enables them to move about safely and use the facilities within the built environment.
The standard definition, used in India's accessibility guidelines, is an environment that enables people with disabilities to move about safely and freely and to use the facilities within the built environment: ramps, accessible toilets, lifts, tactile paving, signage and so on. The goal is independent and safe use.
Moving freely 'anywhere' overstates it, since the definition concerns the built environment. 'Adequate facilities' is vague, and an environment that depends on people around helping them is the opposite of barrier-free, because it keeps the person dependent.
