How can R. Yosi hold that the upper dweller must pay for the plaster on the floor/ceiling between the two stories, when in Bava Basra he holds that it’s the Nizak’s job to protect himself from damage.

Answers B and C.
What changes may someone make when he rebuilds his part of a two story house?
The owner of the upper floor may replace his smaller bricks with larger bricks.
The owner of the lower floor may replace his larger bricks with smaller bricks.
The owner of the upper floor may put in more windows.
The owner of the lower floor may put in more windows, and replace the sycamore ceiling with heavier cedar.
The owners of both floors may make whatever change they want; it’s his floor!
How do the owner of the first floor and owner of the second floor divide the use of the land when they use it for something other than rebuilding?
They split the proceeds fifty-fifty.
The owner of the first floor gets two-thirds, and owner of the second floor one-third.
The owner of the first floor gets one-third, and owner of the second floor two-thirds.
The owner of the first floor gets sixty percent, and the owner of the top floor forty percent.
They have no right to use it for any other purpose, because maybe tomorrow one of them will want to rebuild his house.
