APotentially discriminatory if those standards have a disparate impact, in general
BFollowing best fair housing practices through consistent, objective screeningCorrect
CRequired by law to use this approach
DExempt from fair housing requirements due to consistent screening

Why Following best fair housing practices through consistent, objective screening Is Correct

Answer B: Following best fair housing practices through consistent, objective screening

Consistent application of objective screening criteria — applied equally to all applicants — is the gold standard for fair housing compliance. While even neutral policies must be examined for disparate impact, consistently applying the same documented standards to all applicants is the recommended best practice.

Exam Tip: Fair Housing

Fair Housing questions test both federal (Fair Housing Act of 1968) and state-level protected classes. The federal protected classes are race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability. Many states add additional protections.
