Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sexual harassment includes unwanted and persistent sexual advances or comments that create a hostile or offensive work environment. In this scenario, the coworker's actions fall under sexual harassment as they are unwanted and persistent, despite being asked to stop. The other options do not necessarily fall under sexual harassment, as asking someone out on a date or commenting on someone's appearance may not be unwanted or persistent, and meeting with a boss to discuss work does not necessarily involve sexual advances or comments.
