The correct option is A "An employer will be considered in violation of the ADA if employment practices are used that discriminate against the disabled - even if the discrimination is unintended".

In this kind of cases, the employers will have to prove that their actions were made bona fide, in order to distinguish their decision from any other illegality, but it is consider a violation of the rule anyway.
