- D. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discriminatory practices.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because federal fair housing requires candidates to recognize protected classes and prohibited discriminatory practices. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
