Answer options

• A. They require employers not to discriminate against certain classes when employees use personal information
• B. They require that employers provide reasonable accommodations to certain classes of employees
• C. They afford certain classes of employees’ privacy protection by limiting inquiries concerning their personal information
• D. They permit employers to use or disclose personal information specifically about employees who are members of certain classes

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because all these acts aim to prevent discrimination against certain groups in the workplace. Options B, C, and D do not accurately represent the primary purpose of these laws, which focuses on non-discrimination rather than specifically on accommodations, privacy protection, or information disclosure.
