Answer: D
 Disparate treatment refers to treating an individual differently or less favorably because of their membership in a protected group, such as race or gender. This can be intentional or unintentional.

Answer: I
 Disparate impact refers to a neutral policy or practice that disproportionately affects a protected group, even if there was no intention to discriminate. This can also be evidenced by statistical data.

Answer: J
 Reverse discrimination refers to discrimination against a group that is not traditionally protected, such as white males, in order to promote diversity or affirmative action goals. This is controversial and often challenged in court.

Answer: F
