BIn violation of fair housing law because ESAs are a reasonable accommodation for disability✓ Correct
CPermitted if the building has fewer than 4 units
DRequired to allow ESAs only in federally subsidized housing

Explanation

Emotional support animals qualify as reasonable accommodations under the Fair Housing Act for tenants with disabilities, even in buildings with 'no pets' policies. Landlords must make reasonable accommodations for ESAs unless doing so would create an undue hardship.
