Correct answer to question 4008
- A: No, it is not a kitchen and is more than 6 ft from the sink
Explanation
The 2020 NEC defines a kitchen as an area with a sink and permanent provisions for food preparation and cooking, so a wet bar without cooking is not a kitchen. The receptacle is also beyond 6 ft from the sink bowl, so 210.8(A) does not apply.
