I am going to answer strictly from real world experience. It is 36" min "at a point" and 48" continuous. I'll assume a detour is considered continuous so I'll go with 48", answer D. Of course the detour has nothing to do with it, any path of travel should be 48" min.I found the answer by just look it up. Thought to share this questions for practice purposes. hopefully your answer will match mine.
The minimum width of a pedestrian detour, for ADA compliance, is _ inches
a) 12
b) 24
c) 36
d) 48
MUTCD 2009, page 688 & 689, figure 6H-28. Sidewalk detour. The minimum is 36 inches
What really matters IMO, is what the ADA guidelines states. MUTCD even states so on page 547. On test day, the ADA guidelines would be my go to source.
I think you should be using Chapter 4 of the ADA - Accessible Routes for everything. In the end, the DOJ governs all this stuff.
This does bring up an interesting dilemma though. NCEES is testing ADA, yet the ADA book is not a required reference.

I know what you are saying ..... but this may be an odd case .... I'm searching the MUTCD (which is a required reference, obviously), and it seems whenever ADA is mentioned, it references the ADAAG
