Employee referral programs typically rely on current employees referring friends or acquaintances who are similar to themselves in terms of background and experience. This can limit the diversity of the workforce and may not align with the company's commitment to a diversified workforce. Therefore, employee referral is likely ruled out as a choice for Keena's company to gain new employees who can help maintain the company's commitment to further diversity.

Potential choices that align with the company's commitment to diversity could include B) advertising, which can reach a wider audience and attract a more diverse pool of applicants, or C) school placement, which can connect the company with a diverse group of entry-level candidates. D) Private employment agencies could also be an option if they specialize in sourcing diverse candidates or have a proven track record of success in this area.
