B) did not file the complaint within 45 days of the event.

Explanation:

Time limits matter and in this case Catherine should have approached the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission before.

All she can do now is wait until next April and if her work is not properly recognized at that moment, then she should immediately file a complaint (at least before the 45 day limit expires).
