ALoyalty
BConfidentiality
CDisclosure of all facts that could harm the seller's negotiating position✓ Correct
DObedience to the seller's lawful instructions
Explanation
In a seller agency relationship, the agent owes fiduciary duties to the SELLER — including loyalty, confidentiality, reasonable care, obedience to lawful instructions, and accounting. 'Disclosure of facts that could harm the seller's negotiating position' is the OPPOSITE of what a seller's agent should do — the agent must protect those facts confidentially. The duty of disclosure (to the buyer) relates to known material defects, which must always be disclosed regardless of agency.
