- C. It allows a salesperson to act independently of the responsible broker.
- D. Recognize illegal agreements among brokers about commission rates.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize illegal agreements among brokers about commission rates.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because antitrust price fixing requires candidates to recognize illegal agreements among brokers about commission rates. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
