Correct Answer:
A. Ground floor level
Explanation:
The correct answer is floor level.
The plinth area is the total built-up covered area of a building, calculated by measuring the external dimensions at the floor level. This measurement includes the thickness of internal and external walls, internal shafts for sanitary installations, and areas occupied by columns or other structural projections. It excludes open spaces such as courtyards, open balconies, and cantilevers. Measuring at the floor level ensures an accurate representation of the usable and structural footprint of the building as per standard architectural and engineering practices.
