Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many individuals who are sexually harassed at work do not report the behavior or take any actions to stop it due to fear of retaliation from the harasser or other coworkers. Reporting the harassment can lead to negative consequences such as being retaliated against, ostracized by coworkers, or even losing one's job. It is important for organizations to create a safe reporting environment and actively discourage retaliation against those who report harassment. Option A is victim-blaming and not supported by evidence. Option B and C are incorrect as any type of unwanted sexual behavior can constitute sexual harassment, regardless of whether it meets the technical definition.
