Step-by-step explanation:
Disparate-treatment discrimination means when an employer shows intentional discrimination or unjust behavior to their employees based on race or gender. It is unlawful according to the United States labor law.
Now in order to indent or show disparate-treatment discrimination against an employer, an employee must show that ---
--she or he is a member of a protected class
-- applied for and was qualified for the job in question
--was then rejected by the employer
--and the employer continued to seek applicants for the position, or filled the position with a person not in a protected class.
Thus the answer is protected, qualified, rejected and applicants.
