Riley Beard · Answer 1

The correct answer is c. Disparate treatment.

Explanation:

In an unequal treatment, the worker seeks to demonstrate the reason for the employer's discrimination. An unequal impact claim does not require proof of intentional discrimination, but the proof that the employer uses employment practices that are apparently neutral in their treatment of different groups but in fact fall harder on a group that in another and cannot be justified as a necessity imposed by the business.
