AComply with the seller's instructions as part of the duty of obedience
BRefuse to follow discriminatory instructions and advise the seller that discrimination is illegal; terminate the listing if necessary✓ Correct
CMake a note of the instruction and show the property only to permitted buyers
DFile a complaint with the MLS without notifying the seller
Explanation
A licensee cannot comply with discriminatory instructions from a seller client. The duty of obedience requires following lawful instructions only. Discriminatory showing restrictions violate the Fair Housing Act. The licensee must inform the seller that the instruction is illegal and refuse to comply, terminating the listing if the seller insists.
