Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Explanation: The statement that official federal policy was to bar any racial discrimination in selling or renting property subsidized by federal money but this policy was often ignored is the least accurate. In reality, federal policies and practices, such as redlining and other forms of systemic discrimination, actively contributed to racial segregation and the difficulty for black Americans to access housing in the North, rather than strictly barring discrimination.
