BRefuse to follow discriminatory instructions and advise the owner that they violate fair housing law✓ Correct
CDisclose the instructions to the tenant without advising the owner
DReduce the management fee to compensate for the ethical conflict

A property manager cannot follow discriminatory instructions from a property owner. The manager must advise the owner that their instructions violate fair housing law and refuse to implement them. Following discriminatory instructions would expose both the manager and owner to liability.
