Questions: Question 1 of 10 The governing body which protects those who face civil rights violations in the workplace is: Multiple Choice Single-Answer (Please select an appropriate answer from the below list) A Human Resources B The Civil Rights Act C The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission D The American Nurses Association

The answer is C The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

Human Resources departments within organizations are responsible for managing employee relations, benefits, and compliance with labor laws. While they play a role in addressing workplace issues, they are not a governing body that specifically protects civil rights in the workplace.

The Civil Rights Act, particularly Title VII, prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. However, it is legislation rather than a governing body. The enforcement of these laws is carried out by specific agencies.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the federal agency responsible for enforcing laws against workplace discrimination. It investigates complaints and can take legal action to protect individuals facing civil rights violations in the workplace.

The American Nurses Association is a professional organization for nurses, focusing on advocacy, education, and standards for nursing practice. It does not have the authority to enforce civil rights protections in the workplace.
