Michael Chambers · Answer 1

The answer is: A, refusing to hire a woman because she is a mother.

Explanation:

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 was a labor law legislated in the United States. This was meant to abolish the differences in wage between a man and a woman. Under this act, employees should also not be discriminated based on their gender. Among the choices above, letter D (refusing to hire a woman because she is a mother) is illegal under the Equal Pay Act of 1963. Conditions for both men and women during employment should also be equal.

Thus, this explains the answer.
