An Alaska real estate agent who shows a military veteran buyer only homes located near the military base 'because veterans usually prefer that' is exhibiting:

AExceptional customer service tailored to the client, though specific requirements can vary depending on the transaction details
BPotential steering based on assumptions about a group rather than responding to the individual client's stated preferencesCorrect
CMarket expertise about veteran buyer preferences
DBuyer representation best practices

Why Potential steering based on assumptions about a group rather than responding to the individual client's stated preferences Is Correct

Answer B: Potential steering based on assumptions about a group rather than responding to the individual client's stated preferences

Making housing decisions based on assumptions about what a group of people prefer — rather than responding to the individual client's actual preferences — can constitute illegal steering. Agents must ask buyers what they want and show them properties matching their stated criteria, not their assumed group preferences.
