Disparate-impact discrimination occurs when a neutral policy or employment practice has a disproportionate impact on a protected class without a legitimate business justification. In this case, if the test has a discriminatory effect on Neville's protected class, it would be considered disparate-impact discrimination. Reverse discrimination (A) refers to discrimination in favor of a protected class at the expense of another group.
