Fair Housing

A'3BR/2BA home near award-winning schools'
B'Ideal for Christian families — close to local churches'✓ Correct
C'Move-in ready — close to shopping and dining'

Explanation
Advertising that expresses a preference for buyers or renters of a particular religion ('ideal for Christian families') violates the Fair Housing Act's prohibition on discriminatory advertising. All real estate advertising must be written without reference to protected class characteristics.
