    (C) both Paula and Tom are liable for Tom's act of discrimination.

    Explanation:

    As the principal or as the real estate broker, both are held equally liable for any kind of non compliance towards state tax, or federal tax or anything.

    This is because both are liable, the broker because he was assigned that job and the principal because just transferring the job did not free the principal from his liabilities.

    Accordingly, when the court will take decision it will make Paula and Tom both liable for any kind of false act.
