What material should the seat of a toilet for public or semi-public use be made of?

A. Metal
B. Plastic
C. Wooden
D. Smooth non-absorbent material

The correct answer is: D. Smooth non-absorbent material

The seat of a toilet for public or semi-public use should be made of a smooth, non-absorbent material because this type of material is more hygienic and easier to clean. It helps to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi, which can thrive in porous or absorbent materials, making them unsuitable for environments that see high traffic. Additionally, smooth surfaces are less likely to harbor dirt and can be sanitized effectively. Choosing smooth, non-absorbent materials ensures durability and longevity under constant use, while also providing a consistent level of comfort for users. This approach aligns with health standards and sanitary regulations often required in public and semi-public facilities.
