Exposed solar thermal equipment protected by motor vehicle impact may be installed at what height?

The IMC states that solar thermal equipment exposed to vehicular traffic must be installed not less than 6 feet above the finished floor . It then gives an exception stating that this requirement does not apply where the equipment is protected from motor vehicle impact . Because the height requirement is removed by that exception, the best answer from the choices given is A, directly on finished floor . This is an inference from the exception language.
