The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, among other areas. The ADA defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, including the ability to work. Harriet's drinking problem may qualify as a disability under the ADA, and if it does, her employer may be required to provide her with reasonable accommodations to help her perform the essential functions of her job, such as allowing her to attend treatment or providing a modified work schedule. Therefore, the best choice is D - Americans with Disabilities Act.
