What is an example of functional obsolescence?

  1. Having to get to a bedroom by going through another bedroom

  2. Cracked foundation

  3. Outdated plumbing

  4. Peeling paint

The correct answer is: Having to get to a bedroom by going through another bedroom

One example of functional obsolescence is when one must go through one bedroom in order to reach another bedroom. This can be seen as a design flaw since it may create inconvenience or lack of privacy for the occupants. The other options, such as a cracked foundation, outdated plumbing, and peeling paint, are examples of physical deterioration or external factors that can cause a decrease in a property's value, but do not necessarily make it functionally obsolete.
