Which of the following correctly describes the ark's openings?

In the biblical account, the ark has exactly two openings described: one window and one door. The text instructs, “a window shalt thou make to the ark” and also “the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof.” The window is placed above, and the door is set on the side, with the ark built to have multiple levels. Taken together, these instructions mean there are two openings in total: a single door and a single window. Other configurations—such as multiple doors, multiple windows, or more than two openings—aren’t supported by the instructions in Genesis, which specify one window and one door.
