However, the only requirement for men is that they keep their hair and nails trimmed. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, female employees at Upper Edge Cosmetics:

Answer:

A) do not have a valid discrimination claim because the act does not prohibit an employer from using gender as a basis for reasonable grooming codes

Step-by-step explanation:

This policy can qualify as as a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) since the company sells cosmetics (make up) it is reasonable to believe that their dress code will include the use of make up by women. Having their female employees wear make up is something essential for a firm that sells make up.
