A Trucking Company Has Employees Who Load 100-Pound Sacks on Trucks

A trucking company has employees who load 100-pound sacks on trucks. Of those who apply for the jobs, one man in three can lift 100-pound sacks, but only one woman in fifty. As a result, all 40 employees are men. In sex discrimination suit, the most likely result will be that the company will:

A) lose because the statistics prove the structure of the employment situation is discriminatory
B) lose because it could make smaller sacks smaller, which would increase the number of women who would be eligible
C) lose because physical tests for hiring are illegal
D) win because the work involved is traditional male work
E) none of the other choices
