Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The department store can legally consider the fact that the woman had six credit cards canceled for non-payment because it is relevant to her creditworthiness. However, options A, B, and C are all illegal to consider as they relate to personal information such as marital status, pregnancy, and receipt of public assistance, which are protected under anti-discrimination laws. Option E is incorrect because not all of the options are illegal to consider.
