Answer:

b. Americans with Disabilities Act

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the act that the employer is violating is the Americans with Disabilities Act. This act created in 1990 that prevents discrimination against an individual because of their disability, which includes any physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, such as an individual in a wheelchair.
