D) A licensed real estate broker who personally prefers not to represent buyers of a particular marital status

A licensed real estate broker is never exempt from the NJ LAD's anti-discrimination requirements. The NJ LAD explicitly provides that once a licensed real estate agent or broker is involved in a transaction, any potential exemption that might otherwise apply to a private individual is eliminated.
