BMust allow the reasonable modification at the tenant's expense✓ Correct
CMust pay for the modification to comply with the ADA
DOnly must comply if the building has more than 10 units

The Fair Housing Act requires landlords to permit persons with disabilities to make reasonable modifications to their unit or common areas, at the tenant's expense, if needed to accommodate their disability. Refusing such a request is a violation.
