Hi Everyone, on the BPELSG site I see some seismic sample questions:  Can anyone help me find the answer in CBC as I cannot find anything definitive?  I believe the answer is D

Example No. 2 
 
An apartment building of reinforced concrete construction was built in 1930. For the maximum considered earthquake, what minimum level of seismic design is appropriate to satisfy the CBC design philosophy for the replacement of this building? 
 
A. Minor structural damage or loss of function

B. Limited property damage

C. Limited damage in order to maintain function

D. Major structural damage but no collapse
