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.
