BIs generally permissible if applied consistently to all applicants regardless of protected class✓ Correct
CRequires HUD approval before implementation
DMay only be applied to male applicants

Explanation

A facially neutral income requirement applied uniformly to all applicants is generally permissible. However, if such a requirement has a disproportionate impact on a protected class without business justification, it could be challenged as disparate impact discrimination.
