BRefuse to implement the discriminatory instruction and may need to withdraw from the listing✓ Correct
CAdd a note to the MLS that limits showings
DReport only to AREC, not to HUD

Agents cannot carry out discriminatory instructions from their clients. Implementing such instructions would make the agent equally liable for fair housing violations.
