Fair Housing

The concept of 'disparate impact' in Wyoming fair housing means:

AA landlord must intend to discriminate for it to be a violation
BA neutral policy that has a disproportionate negative effect on a protected class may constitute illegal discrimination even without discriminatory intent✓ Correct
CDifferent impact on buyers versus renters
DThe disparity between listed and sale prices in a protected class neighborhood

Explanation

Disparate impact theory allows fair housing claims when a facially neutral policy (one that doesn't mention protected classes) has a disproportionate negative effect on a protected class, even without discriminatory intent—unless the policy is justified by a legitimate, non-discriminatory business reason.
