The correct answer is : B

Explanation:

A bona fide occupational qualification defense is a defense that a company can say is true when making decisions on hiring, firing or promoting somebody that is based on a protected characteristic. The store according to its qualifications standards can determine whether the person is able or unable to perform a job.
