A North Dakota seller tells their listing agent they will not sell to families from a particular country. The listing agent should:

AFollow the seller's instruction as the client
BRefuse to comply and explain to the seller that such instructions violate the Fair Housing Act✓ Correct
COnly follow the instruction if the buyer's agent agrees
DDisclose the instruction on the MLS

Following seller instructions to discriminate based on national origin (or any protected class) would make the agent complicit in a Fair Housing Act violation. The agent must refuse such instructions and may withdraw from the listing.
