Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) is an exception to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that allows employers to discriminate against individuals based on certain protected characteristics if they are reasonably necessary for the performance of a particular job. However, BFOQs cannot be applied to all members of a protected class, only to those whose characteristics are essential to the job in question. For example, a BFOQ may allow employers to hire only male actors to play male characters in a movie. In this case, the BFOQ allows discrimination based on sex for business necessities, making choice C the correct answer.
