The correct answer is C. U.S. federal laws, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), protect individuals from employment discrimination based on various factors, including age, pregnancy, and genetic information. However, federal laws do not explicitly protect individuals from employment discrimination based on marital status. It's important to note that state laws might offer additional protections that vary by jurisdiction.
