Which item is categorized as building and grounds maintenance equipment?

• A. Lawn mowers
• B. Paint brushes
• C. Pipe wrench
• D. Rakes

Answer: (A)

Building and grounds maintenance equipment is anything used to take care of the exterior property and surrounding grounds of a building. A lawn mower fits this category best because its primary job is to mow and maintain the lawn around the building, keeping the property tidy and accessible.

Paint brushes are used for painting surfaces, which falls under painting or finishing tasks rather than grounds upkeep. A pipe wrench is a plumbing tool, not related to exterior grounds maintenance. Rakes are used for yard work and leaf collection, which is related to grounds care, but the lawn mower is the clearest, dedicated tool for maintaining the grounds, making it the best fit.
