Solution

Answer

The answer is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Explanation
Option 1: Executive Order 11246

This executive order prohibits federal contractors and federally-assisted construction contractors and subcontractors, who do over $10,000 in government business in one year, from discriminating in employment decisions on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. However, it is not as broadly applicable as Title VII.

Option 2: Federal Employers' Liability Act

This act is designed to protect and compensate railroad workers injured on the job, and it does not address employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Option 3: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Title VII is a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion. It applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including federal, state, and local governments.

Option 4: Unlawful Corporate Payments Act of 1977

This act, also known as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, addresses bribery of foreign officials and does not pertain to employment discrimination.

Option 5: Executive Order 148

There is no widely recognized Executive Order 148 that pertains to employment discrimination. This option is likely incorrect or misidentified.
