Answer: files a lawsuit in court

Explanation: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing laws that protect employees or prospective employees from discrimination at work. Discrimination can be on the basis of age, sex, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation or race.

The EEOC has the authority to investigate charges of discrimination filed against employers that have a minimum of 15 employees.

When the EEOC finds that discrimination has truly taken place after investigating, it attempts to settle the charge between the complainant and the employee but if this fails, it can also file a lawsuit against the employer.
