The Neighborhood Pattern and Development Credit for Visitability and Universal Design aims to

promote the creation of inclusive communities by ensuring that homes and buildings are accessible

to all, including those with disabilities. According to LEED ND standards, the project must design a

certain percentage of homes with either Visitability features (such as a zero-step entrance, wider

doorways, and an accessible bathroom) or universal design features (which accommodate a wide

range of physical abilities). In this scenario, option D satisfies the credit requirements by ensuring

that 20% of the detached homes, townhomes, and apartments meet the criteria, thereby fostering

accessibility and inclusivity.
