A is a better option because reactive free oxygen species is helpful to discolour the brass because free radical of oxygen may present which is react with brass.

Hydrogen sulphide is a heavy gas, it has property to react with metals like copper, bronze, steel etc. At some conditions (temperature, moisture) brass is a metal (alloy) made of copper and zinc. These two metals are mixed in different proportions. Copper reacts with hydrogen sulphide which makes it corrosive.
