BContinue representing the seller, assisting the unrepresented buyer in a non-agency capacity with proper disclosure, or enter a disclosed limited agency with both parties' written consent✓ Correct
CRefuse to present the offer
DOnly represent the buyer if they sign a buyer representation agreement
Explanation
When a listing agent works with an unrepresented buyer, the agent may continue representing only the seller (while assisting the buyer in a non-agency capacity), or may seek written consent from both parties to enter a disclosed limited agency.
