In Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc., the Supreme Court expanded the definition of illegal same-sex harassment. The Court held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits workplace discrimination based on sex, also covers same-sex harassment. Prior to this case, many lower court decisions had held that same-sex harassment was not covered under Title VII. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
