MDF,wheatboard,plywood,OSB are all "considered" composite woods in EQ4.4.(bamboo is not) BUT the way the answers are written is deceptive: for answer A. the subject is "cabinets". Thus the question asks Are "cabinets" considered composite woods ?. Of course,no. Rewording A as "MDF used in cabinets" Then the answer is Yes,and, provided the cabinets are permanently installed,the MDF would effect credit. Bottom line, F is the only correct answer ???. poorly worded question…
