Correct Answer

D) Representing a buyer in a transaction where the buyer's agent fee is paid by the seller

Representing a buyer in a transaction where the buyer's agent compensation is paid by the seller (or from the seller's proceeds) is a standard and lawful practice in Minnesota real estate. It is not a ground for disciplinary action under Ch. 82. This compensation arrangement is common in traditional MLS transactions and does not create a per se violation of Minnesota license law, provided proper agency disclosures are made.
