a. Practices sexual discrimination.
b. has no legal worries because Marlene is not suffering any economic injury.
c. has no legal worries because none of the offensive materials are directed at Marlene.
d. has a hostile work environment.
e. is engaging in quid pro quo harassment.

Answer 1

d. has a hostile work environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on this scenario, it seems that Carz Parts has a hostile work environment. This is a work environment that is created by a boss or coworker whose actions, communication or behavior make doing your job impossible by altered the terms, conditions, and/or reasonable expectations of a comfortable work environment. Which in this scenario, the sexually explicit posters were put up and/or allowed by the boss, and since the posters make Marlene very uncomfortable which prevents her from doing her job correctly the boss has therefore created a hostile work environment.
