Ingress is defined as:

• A. Exits that lead to the outside only.
• B. The part of a building used for delivering goods.
• C. Entrances or a means to enter a structure from a public way
• D. A secure area for vehicle access.

Answer: (C)

Ingress is the entry path into a building from the outside world. It refers to entrances or means to enter a structure from a public way, such as doors or gates that allow people or vehicles to obtain access from the street, parking area, or other exterior spaces. This is different from exits, which are the paths used to leave the building. The other descriptions describe delivering goods or a secured vehicle-access area, not the act or location of entering from the outside. In practice, recognizing ingress helps ensure proper entry points are available, accessible, and appropriately secured for occupants and responders.
