b. maintains reasonable minority standards.
c. discharges a minority individual, but has a just cause for doing so.
d. uses age as a hiring or firing criterion.
e. has more men than women on staff.

Answer 1

A company can be sued for discrimination if it uses age as a hiring or firing criterion, has an imbalanced staff based on gender, or discharges a minority individual without just cause.

Step-by-step explanation:

A company can be sued for discrimination if it:

1. Uses age as a hiring or firing criterion: Age discrimination is prohibited under the law, and an employer cannot discriminate against individuals based on their age.
2. Has more men than women on staff: This can be considered discrimination based on gender if it results in unequal treatment or opportunities for men and women.
3. Discharges a minority individual without just cause: Although there may be just cause in certain situations, if a minority individual is discharged solely because of their race or ethnicity, it can be a basis for discrimination.
