Correct answer to question 7025
- A: In Article 406, which now covers switches
Explanation
NEC 2026 merged the switch rules of former Article 404 into Article 406, so receptacles and switches share one article. The requirement for a grounded conductor at lighting switch locations in habitable rooms, bathrooms, hallways and stairways carries over.
