D - Susceptibility

I'm not positive, but I think the answer is D. susceptibility

None of these are mobility limitations since they don't have to do with actual movement/walking restrictions, and "reactivity" limitations I would think are more of a cognitive limitation (ex. someone with a condition like Down Syndrome who might not immediately recognize the need to evacuate). Sensibility just doesn't intuitively strike me as a limitation, so by process of elimination, that leaves D.

A. Mobility

According to FPH 18th edition Section 9-6 - Table 9-1A

Mobility - Physical ability of the occupant to leave the facility.
