Answer A: A person who uses a wheelchair (disability)

Disability (physical or mental) is one of the seven protected classes under the federal Fair Housing Act. Age, veteran status, and sexual orientation are not federal protected classes (though some states including Delaware protect these).

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.
