Answer 1

Answer:

A. Refusing to sell or rent to a person because of race.

Explanation:

Housing discrimination exists during the renting, leasing, selling, or securing a home loan. It also involves refusing the use or enjoyment of a person's home. Discrimination in commercial property can occur when commercial property is purchased, rented, or sold. The Fair Housing Act only extends to owners who rent or lease space in their primary residence if the home includes living quarters occupied or expected to be used by three or more other families residing separately of each other, such as a boarding house used by the owner.
