Questions about someone's housing status can be perceived as discriminatory, as it gives insight into their financial and socio-economic background. Asking about renting or owning a home could be seen as prying into personal financial details, and could be deemed irrelevant to the job at hand. In some jurisdictions, it is illegal to ask about an applicant's housing status during an interview. Thus choice A is the best answer, as it highlights the potential illegality or discriminatory nature of the question.
