AProvide demographic statistics about the neighborhood
BDescribe the property's features and amenities without making statements about neighborhood composition or directing based on protected classes✓ Correct
CRefuse to answer any questions about the neighborhood
DTell the prospect the neighborhood is quiet and older
Explanation
Property managers should describe the property's features, available facilities, and objective facts but should not provide information about neighborhood demographics or composition based on protected classes. They can refer prospects to public resources for neighborhood information. Making recommendations based on family status could constitute steering.
