This is in one of my prep books. To me, B is the better answer because the new codes have to involve the electrical system and emergency exits. I can see perhaps that the ventilation system and handicapped access as being scope creep.
Answer A, however, seems to be too generic. And it, too, has scope creep with the idea of buildings under construction.
So why oh why is the answer what it is?

I think the way to look at this, is that if the assumption wasn't made, would the argument hold?
A) Let's assume this isn't true. Say in actual fact the new building code only applies to buildings under construction. Does the authors argument make any sense under this scenario? It wouldn't. If it doesn't apply to old buildings, then there would be no need for repairs.
B) introduces some irrelevant things that have no bearing on the author's argument. Whether or not ventilation needs repairs does not change the author's argument. Indeed it is likely that there are plenty of other things that need repair, the author has just mentioned two as supporting pieces of information.
