Accepted Answer

All of the choices are potential costs and risks associated with applying for a diversity award. It takes time and resources to prepare the submission materials, investigating an organization may reveal negative information about company practices, and there is a possibility of receiving a lower ranking than in previous years. It is important for organizations to weigh the potential benefits of receiving a diversity award against the potential costs and risks before deciding to apply.

Accepted Answer

The statement about tax deduction is not a universally applicable benefit for receiving a diversity award.

Therefore, it is not a definitive benefit of receiving a diversity award, in contrast to the other three options which are generally true.
