    B. Employers are not liable for the acts of their supervisors, regardless of whether the employer is aware of the sexual harassment act.

    Explanation:

    In this case, the Supreme Court mentioned that an employer isat risk. That means that the empolyer does nor have a defense when sexual harassment by a supervisor involves a tangible employment action. Courts hope that employers educate supervisors so they do not commit any type of behavior that could be considered as sexual harassment. Also, all employees must be educated so as to understand their rights and responsibilities.
