BMrs. Murphy exemption✓ Correct
COwner-occupied exemption

Explanation
The 'Mrs. Murphy' exemption allows owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units to be exempt from some federal Fair Housing Act requirements (specifically race, color, religion, sex, and national origin). However, race is never exempt, and the exemption does not apply if a real estate licensee is used.
