Explanation
Answer: D - After accepting compensation from your client, the seller approaches you and offers you $100 to "soft sell" deficiencies you identify during the inspection. The appropriate response to this situation is to decline the offer and suggest the client get a technically exhaustive inspection. Turning down the offer is simply not enough in this situation. The seller may have an ulterior motive for asking you to "soft sell" deficiencies to your client. There may be something wrong with the home that would not be detected during a traditional inspection or may not be disclosed by the seller during the home purchasing process.
