Title VIII (Fair Housing Act), before amendments, forbade discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing, and in brokerage services, on the basis of:

• A. Race
• B. Color
• C. Religion
• D. Race Color Religion National Origin

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is what characteristics were protected under the Fair Housing Act in its original form. The act barred discrimination in selling, renting, financing, and in brokerage services on multiple bases, specifically race, color, religion, and national origin. The best answer is the option that lists all four categories together, since the law protected each of those characteristics, not just any single one. It’s also helpful to know that later amendments expanded protections to include additional categories such as sex, disability, and familial status.
