The sentence that uses the word stimuli correctly is 'Jill was taken in by the bright lights and other stimuli surrounding her in Las Vegas.' The word stimuli refers to things that provoke a response or reaction, particularly from living organisms, and is commonly used in the context of sensory experiences. In this sentence, stimuli relate to the various sensory experiences that Jill encounters. On the other hand, the other provided sentences misuse the term; stimuli are not something a person or city produces, nor are they a cause for physical deterioration of inanimate objects like buildings.

The sentence that uses the word "stimuli" correctly is option B: "Jill was taken in by the bright lights and other stimuli surrounding her in Las Vegas." This option accurately describes how sensory inputs can affect someone in a vibrant environment. Options A and C misuse the term, as they do not fit the usual context of stimuli related to sensory responses.
