Jones is selling a house to Smith. The contract between the two specifies that for up to a year after ownership is transferred, Jones will be responsible for repairing any "major structural defects, " defined as defects in the roof or roof-supporting components of the house, that might be found. Jones is not responsible for any other repairs. The house has a truss roof, which means that the only walls that support the roof are the exterior walls. It can be properly concluded from the information above that
A: the contract does not oblige Jones to repair any defects in the house's nonexterior walls after ownership of the house has been transferred
B: Jones did not know of any defects in the roof or roof-supporting components of the house at the time the contract was written
C: Smith will be obligated to repair all structural defects in the house within a year after ownership is transferred, except those for which Jones is responsible
D: although other components of the house may contain defects, the roof and roof-supporting components of the house are currently free from such defects
