Questions: QUESTION 12 Which of the following BEST describes gender discrimination? a. Terminating all employees of a certain gender b. Denial of a job based solely on gender c. Encouraging career choices that are traditional d. Denial of a job based on gender and race

The answer is B: Denial of a job based solely on gender.

Explanation for each option:

a. Terminating all employees of a certain gender: While this is indeed a form of gender discrimination, it is a more extreme and specific example. The question asks for the BEST description, which should be more general.

b. Denial of a job based solely on gender: This option best describes gender discrimination in a broad and general sense. It captures the essence of gender discrimination, which is the unfair treatment of individuals in employment based on their gender.

c. Encouraging career choices that are traditional: This could be seen as a form of gender bias or stereotyping, but it does not directly address the concept of discrimination in the context of employment.

d. Denial of a job based on gender and race: While this describes a form of discrimination, it introduces an additional factor (race) that goes beyond the scope of gender discrimination alone. The question specifically asks for a description of gender discrimination, not a combination of gender and racial discrimination.
