    Answer: Minimum or rational basis scrutiny.

    Explanation: Case reviews in which courts only require a logical explanation or basis from an accused or government for implementing certain laws or regulation within their jurisdiction.

    In the context above, the bus company which has been accused by Sven will only be required to give a rational or logical explanation that it's decision not to hire anyone who has been convicted of Driving Under the Influence of alcohol is in the best interest of the state. Alcohol causes addiction and as such employing drivers who might have been addicted will probably mean subjecting school children to danger. It doesn't require strong evidence or documented fact. Just rational deduction in most cases.

    Minimal Scrutiny

    Explanation:

    First of all, Scrutiny means observation or examination, and therefore minimal scrutiny means that the court will be investigating what the bus company does when they want to hire someone but not in an extensive manner, they will probably only search for a few documents for them to come to a quick verdict without much trouble.
