Which statement best describes Type I construction?

Least resistance to fire spread; noncombustible.

Moderate resistance; wooden elements.

Susceptible to collapse under fire early.

Best resistance to fire spread and early collapse; fire-resistive.

Type I construction is fire-resistive, built to resist fire spread and maintain structural integrity for a specified period. It uses noncombustible materials and protective fireproofing for structural members, often resulting in a robust fire resistance rating. The option describing the best resistance to fire spread and early collapse, and labeling the system as fire-resistive, matches this design goal. In contrast, descriptions involving wooden elements or a tendency to collapse early reflect less fire-resistant types, where components can burn or lose strength more quickly.
