A) using different kinds of application forms for different people applying for the same position
B) if an applicant seems an unlikely candidate, discouraging him from applying for the job
C) accepting applications for a position for only one week
D) all of these
E) a and b only

B) discouraging a candidate from applying based on characteristics like race, gender, age, religion, etc. is discriminatory as it deprives them of an equal opportunity to apply for the job.

C) accepting applications for a position for only one week may not be discriminatory by itself, but it may pose a disadvantage for some candidates who were not aware of the position being advertised during that short interval of time.

Therefore, options A and B are discriminatory, and option C is not necessarily discriminatory but may be disadvantageous for some candidates. Hence, the best answer is E.
