What does “they” refer to?

Hi!
I read the following in a TOEIC book:

“5. People are more satisfied with the museum’s facilities now ______ they were before the renovations were completed.

(A) than

(B) as

(C) when

(D) after

Answer: A”
((Tomato TOEIC Basic, p. 228))}

What does “they” in the above sentence refer to? “People”? Or, “the museum’s facilities”?

I think it refers to “People”. I analyzed the above sentence into the following:

- People are more satisfied with the museum’s facilities now than people were (satisfied with the museum’s facilities) before the renovations were completed.

What do you think? Am I right?

Thanks in advance.
