The correct answer is: A syndrome characterized by improved health after leaving a building

Sick Building Syndrome is a term used to describe a variety of symptoms that can occur in a building, without a specific cause or diagnosis. These can include headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and respiratory issues, among others. Option A is incorrect because there is no specific toxic agent that causes Sick Building Syndrome. Option C is also incorrect as Sick Building Syndrome is not caused by an infectious disease. Option D is incorrect because there are many ways to improve indoor air quality and address the issue without needing to demolish a building. The correct answer, B, highlights the fact that many people report feeling better after leaving a building, thus suggesting that there may be a connection between the building and the symptoms experienced.
