The City of Lower Iberia Pays for All of Its

The City of Lower Iberia pays for all of its firefighters who buy their firefighting gear (i.e., coats, helmets and gloves) from one authorized vendor who gives the city a discount price based on the volume of equipment purchased. There department has 197 males and 11 females in its firefighting corps. The vendor carries only male-designed gear although vendors located in other cities sell firefighting gear made specifically for women. Marcelle Landry and Lula Bourque are female firefighters in Lower Iberia. They complain.

A) Marcelle and Lula will not prevail in a Title VII case because the men and women can buy the same uniforms.
B) Marcelle and Lula will not prevail in a Title VII case because City of Iberia saves money by having its entire firefighters buy their uniforms from the same vendor.
C) Marcelle and Lula will prevail in a Title VII case because requiring female firefighters to buy and wear male firefighting equipment makes it harder for them to do their jobs and subjects them to the risk of burns and injury due to improperly fit male-designed gear.
D) Marcelle and Lula will prevail in a Title VII case because the City of Iberia requires its firefighters to buy their gear instead of giving it to them as part of their official equipment.
