BThe status and compliance of the on-site sewage treatment system, protecting buyers from unexpected upgrade costs✓ Correct

DThe distance of the septic system from the nearest lake
Explanation
Minnesota's septic system disclosure requirement protects buyers by ensuring they know the status of the private sewage treatment system. A non-compliant system (failing, improperly located, or too small) may need to be replaced or upgraded, which can cost $10,000-$30,000 or more. Buyers need this information before committing to purchase.
