Two members discussing flooring in taxpayers agreed on all statements below except which incorrect choice?
A: Flooring can vary in taxpayers. The most common type floors are tongue and groove boards or plywood, supported by wood floor joists.
B: Heavy terrazzo or concrete is sometimes placed over wood joist floor construction, an exceptionally hazardous condition.
C: Paneling under display windows at street fronts can always be removed to offer ventilation and stream operation points for cellar fires. The flooring under the raised display platform is always omitted behind these panels.
D: In newer type taxpayer slab construction, concrete floors are prevalent on ground level with no basements or cellars in the buildings.

Explanation:
Paneling under display windows at street fronts can SOMETIMES be removed to offer ventilation and stream operation points for cellar fires. The flooring under the raised display platform is SOMETIMES omitted behind these panels.
B Note: A fire in the cellar may weaken floor supports with little evidence of heat conditions on the first floor. These floors are difficult to ventilate to allow early advance of cellar lines or use of cellar pipes and distributors. Sudden failure due to weight on the floor is possible.
