Answer:
b prohibiting discrimination based on gender.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted by the 88th US Congress and signed into law on the 2nd of July, 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
It is a civil rights and labor law in the United States of America that prohibits discrimination, segregation in schools, and enforces the constitutional voting rights of the citizens.
Hence, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination in employment on the basis of national origin, color, sex, race, or religion.
However, the Act didn't prohibited discrimination based on gender i.e either male or female.
