Answer: B. Making a substantial misrepresentation, or a false promise of a character likely to influence or induce a party to act, is classic prohibited conduct subject to discipline.

Keep the streak going with more questions like these, each with a full rationale.
What you need to know
A licensee may represent the buyer, the seller, or both, but acting as an agent for more than one party (dual or assigned agency) requires the prior written consent of all parties involved. The disclosure clarifies the licensee's role and is intended to ensure consumers understand whom the agent represents before confidential information is shared.
