BKeep this information confidential as it could harm the buyer's negotiating position✓ Correct
CDisclose only if asked by the seller's agent
DInclude this information in the written offer

The buyer's maximum willingness to pay is confidential information the agent must protect. Disclosing it to the seller's side would harm the buyer's negotiating position and breach the agent's fiduciary duty of confidentiality.
