If it is pre-existing damage and you record it, then you are not required to pay for it.
If you are not required to pay, then it was any damage beyond the tenant's control.
The question is asking us what supports the judgement of not required to pay.
Answer choice B tells me that it was a factor beyond the tenant's control. To believe that this would give a judgement of not required to pay would be a reversal of logic.

Re: A reversal of logic in question 1? PT 50 Section 2
There's not any if statements in this question. It's asking you to apply a principle to the ACs and choose the one where the tenant wouldn't have to pay. This is how I read it:
Any damage on the list does not have to be paid
Any damage not on the list has to be paid unless it was beyond the tenant's control.
A) Within the tenant's control + not on the list. Gotta pay
B) Not within the tenants control + not on the list. Fits exemption, check other ACs to be sure.
C) Within the tenants control + not on the list. Gotta pay.
D) Not preexisting damage, within tenant's control. (Might not even qualify as damage)
E) Not on the list, but no indication whether it was beyond the tenant's control.
