16. Sanitary
The question identifies whether the residents of the housing unit have a sanitary facility to dispose of excrement and urine, or "toileting". In addition, it distinguishes whether it is a toilet, usually connected to the drain and with a device (lever, button, or chain) to evacuate waste by flushing water; or whether it is a latrine.
Read the question and each of the options until you get an affirmative answer and select the appropriate code.

The latrine is a facility consisting of a seat made of wood or other material to sit on while "toileting" and an excavation (pit or hole) where excrement and urine fall. This type of installation is generally not connected to the sewage system and is commonly located in the yard or in the housing unit ground to keep bad odors away.
This option also includes the "wells" or "black holes" that are used to defecate, even if they do not have a seat.
Dry toilets or ecological toilets that have a toilet bowl and a reservoir (airtight box) to receive the waste, which instead of water is poured ash, sawdust, or lime, are considered in the first option even if they are not connected to the drain, as long as they have a toilet bowl.
