Answer 2

(A) Some residents of the complex who are well established in their fields are also authors of some best-selling books:

This statement is true because the information mentions that most academicians (who are all well-established residents) are authors of best-selling books. While it doesn't guarantee it applies to all well-established residents (as some might be from other professions), it suggests a connection between field success and authorship that applies to at least some residents.
