The options to the question are:

D. Ted and Lisa are clients, and Steven is a customer. The listing agent must disclose to Steven that he/she represents Ted and Lisa and explain customer relationship

From the question, we are informed that Ted and Lisa are selling their home and have signed a listing agreement and that Steven visits Ted and Lisa's open house, and he is interested in purchasing their home.

The above scenario shows that Steven is a customer while Ted and Lisa are the clients. Steven is a customer as he is the one that wants to buy the house.

The listing agent must then disclose to Steven that he/she represents Ted and Lisa and explain customer relationships.
