BIllegal familial status discrimination under fair housing laws✓ Correct
CLegal under the landlord's right to choose tenants
DLegal if the landlord lives in the same building

Refusing to rent to families with children based on the number of children (rather than legitimate overcrowding standards like HUD's 2+1 guideline) constitutes illegal familial status discrimination. A two-bedroom unit for a family of five is generally not an unreasonable occupancy request.
