ATo regulate real estate commission rates in Pennsylvania
BTo provide buyers with standardized loan disclosures (Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure) improving transparency about mortgage terms and closing costs✓ Correct
CTo require lenders to obtain PREC approval before issuing mortgages in Pennsylvania

Explanation

TRID (effective 2015) replaced the HUD-1 and GFE with two standardized forms: the Loan Estimate (given within 3 business days of application) and the Closing Disclosure (given at least 3 business days before closing). TRID improves transparency by presenting loan terms and closing costs in a standardized, comparable format. Pennsylvania buyers have the right to review their Closing Disclosure before closing and compare it to their Loan Estimate.
