Fair Housing
In South Dakota, which of the following is an example of 'disparate impact' discrimination in housing?

BA facially neutral policy (like a minimum credit score requirement) that has a disproportionately negative effect on protected class members without sufficient justification✓ Correct
CCharging higher rent to tenants of a specific religion
DAdvertising housing as available only to English speakers
Explanation
Disparate impact discrimination occurs when a facially neutral policy (not obviously discriminatory on its face) has a disproportionately negative effect on members of a protected class, and the policy is not justified by a legitimate, necessary business purpose. For example, a 'no criminal record' policy might disproportionately affect certain racial groups.
