The answer is A: Hostile work environment.

Explanation for each option:

  • Hostile work environment: This scenario illustrates a hostile work environment because the supervisor is creating an adverse and intimidating situation for the employee by reducing her work hours and cutting wages in retaliation for reporting a safety violation. This type of behavior can make the workplace feel hostile and unwelcoming, which is a form of discrimination.

  • Quid pro quo: This term typically refers to a situation where job benefits are contingent upon the employee submitting to unwelcome sexual advances or other forms of harassment. Since the scenario does not involve any such exchange, this option is incorrect.

  • Age discrimination: This form of discrimination involves treating an employee unfavorably because of their age. The scenario does not mention age as a factor, so this option is not applicable.

  • Sexual harassment: This involves unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature. The scenario does not describe any sexual conduct, so this option is incorrect.
