Answer: (C)

Know when fair housing protections began. The Fair Housing Act was enacted in 1968, as Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, signed into law on April 11, 1968. It prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. The 1964 Civil Rights Act addressed other forms of discrimination but not housing specifically. The other years listed are not the enactment year of the Fair Housing Act.
