BMay be considered discriminatory because it could imply a preference against families with children or older adults✓ Correct
CIs acceptable marketing language that describes a lifestyle
DIs only a violation if the landlord has fewer than 10 units
Explanation
The phrase 'young professionals' may imply a preference against families with children (familial status) or older adults (age). Fair housing best practices require advertising language to describe the property's features, not the intended occupant demographic.
