AMust include a detailed EMF measurement in the disclosure
BShould disclose the proximity of high-voltage lines as a material fact that may affect buyer decisionsCorrect
CNeed not disclose since EMF concerns are scientifically unresolved, which is the standard approach used
DMust remove the concern from MLS listings

Why Should disclose the proximity of high-voltage lines as a material fact that may affect buyer decisions Is Correct

Answer B: Should disclose the proximity of high-voltage lines as a material fact that may affect buyer decisions

The proximity of high-voltage power lines may be material to a buyer's decision and should be disclosed. NC's 'material fact' standard includes facts that could reasonably affect the buyer's decision.

Exam Tip: Environmental

Environmental questions test knowledge of hazards like asbestos, lead-based paint, radon, and mold. Know the disclosure requirements and when a professional inspection is required. CERCLA liability is strict, joint, and several.
