Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in any employment terms, including hiring, firing, promotions, and compensation. The Supreme Court has interpreted this to include protection against sexual harassment in the workplace, as it constitutes discrimination on the basis of sex. To be considered sexual harassment, the conduct must be unwelcome and create a hostile or abusive work environment. Therefore, option A) is the correct choice.
