AFollow the seller's instructions
BRefuse to follow the discriminatory instruction and advise the seller of fair housing obligations✓ Correct
CShow the property to families but not tell the seller
DOnly follow the instruction if the seller puts it in writing
Explanation
A seller's instruction to discriminate against families with children (familial status) is illegal under the Fair Housing Act. The agent must refuse to follow the discriminatory instruction and advise the seller that such discrimination is illegal. Following the instruction would make the agent liable too.
