Review the question and all answer choices
Only common area expenses
A is incorrect because it only covers common area expenses, which is typical for condominium fees. Co-op maintenance fees are more comprehensive as they include the shareholder's portion of the building's mortgage and taxes, reflecting the co-op's corporate structure.
Building expenses plus the shareholder's portion of building mortgage and taxes

C is incorrect because maintenance fees include much more than just utilities. They cover all operating expenses plus the shareholder's portion of mortgage and taxes, making utilities only a small component of the total fee.

D is incorrect because insurance is just one component of maintenance fees. Co-op fees include all building expenses, mortgage payments, taxes, and insurance, not just insurance coverage.

B is correct because co-op maintenance fees cover all building expenses (common areas, utilities, staff, etc.) PLUS the shareholder's proportional share of the building's mortgage and real estate taxes. This reflects the shareholder's ownership interest in the entire building corporation, not just their individual unit.
