Answer 1

Answer:

Correct

Explanation:

Disparate treatment is an unlawful discrimination in US labor law. it signifies unequal behavior toward employees or potential employees based on a trait that is protected under federal law.

The key word here is 'treatment' which means that it is intentional.

Disparate-impact occurs where an employer does not intend to discriminate; however, it happens after identical standards are applied to all employees but they lead to a substantial difference in employment outcomes for members of a particular group.

The key word here is 'impact' which means that it is unintentional.
