Final answer:
The statement that all residential buildings must be tested for lead-based paint is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is C) all residential buildings must be tested for lead-based paint. The statement is false because not all residential buildings are required to be tested for lead-based paint. While it is true that lead-based paint was commonly used in residences before 1978 (option A), it is most dangerous when ingested (option B), and renovation by a contractor of a residence that has lead-based paint requires education and certification (option D), not all residential buildings are required to undergo testing for lead-based paint.
