D. actual cost differences.

The reasoning behind charging a higher price for a motel room to customers with dogs or cats is likely due to the actual additional costs incurred by the motel when accommodating pets. These can include extra cleaning to remove pet hair or odors, the risk of damage to furniture or fixtures, and any additional services or amenities provided specifically for pet owners (like pet beds, bowls, or treats). This pricing doesn't necessarily reflect discrimination based on the customer's willingness to pay but rather covers the additional expenses that come with allowing pets in the room.
