B) protect younger workers.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A) permit business necessity as a ground to avoid a guilty verdict.

B) protect younger workers.

C) allow for jury trials.

D) allow punitive damages.

E) permit promotions based on performance.

This is the main reason why Kate and Ashley will not be able to carry out their plan. They will not be able to do so because the law does not apply to them, as the law does not protect younger workers. Age discrimination occurs when someone is being treated differently, and in a negative way, because of his age, and not his ability. However, this discrimination is mostly directed at older people.
