Policies targeting specific groups, such as an employment equity program, may be challenged for underinclusivity, meaning that they may not actually address the root causes of discrimination and may result in reverse discrimination against other groups. This argument would be a strong one for the court to consider in determining whether the policy is a form of discrimination. Option A is not relevant as it mentions the prohibition on reverse discrimination, which may not apply in this case. Options B and C are also not relevant as they pertain to pre-hiring promises and job scope, and do not directly address the discriminatory nature of the policy itself.
