The answer is letter D.

Explanation:

The tenant is entitled to make and pay for reasonable necessary alterations.

Because a landlord must permit the tenant to make modifications for disabilities, the tenant pays for the modifications. When the contract expire, the tenant will have to restore the residential unit to the way it was before the modifications.
