Which statement describes the requirement for content identified as an accessible alternate version under Conformant Mechanism?

• A. It must be identical in layout to the original content.
• B. It must be accessible using only a mouse.
• C. It has an accessible mechanism to use it or access it.
• D. It must be delivered via a separate domain.

Answer: (C)

Providing an accessible alternate version means there must be a usable way to access that version. The essential requirement is an accessible mechanism—such as a clearly labeled control or link—that lets users switch to or retrieve the accessible content using keyboard, screen readers, or other assistive technologies. The alternate version does not have to mirror the original layout, nor does accessibility depend on mouse-only access or hosting on a separate domain; what matters is that a usable mechanism exists to access the accessible content.
