Answer: (A)

MLS rules for NSAR members ensure data accuracy, fair competition, ethical advertising, and proper disclosure of essential information. By standardizing how listings are entered and displayed and requiring truthful ads and clear disclosures, the MLS helps everyone rely on current, complete data. These rules aren’t about capping listings, setting listing prices, or collecting fees—their purpose is to maintain trustworthy, transparent information for buyers, sellers, and agents alike.
