In which situation will workplace recruitment be considered gender biased?

Correct answer: Calling only male candidates

Direct answer: B, calling only male candidates. Recruitment should give qualified people a fair chance without excluding them merely because of gender. Step by step, ask what rule is being used: if men and women can perform the job, inviting only men removes equal opportunity before merit is even considered. Option B is therefore gender bias, unless a narrowly justified lawful requirement applies; no such justification is given here. Option A is wrong because merit-based selection is a fair principle when the same relevant standards are applied to everyone. Option C is wrong because training all workers expands opportunity rather than restricting it. Option D is wrong because providing a safe workplace supports equality and does not show biased recruitment. The issue is not whether the employer ultimately chooses one person, but whether applicants are screened unfairly at the entry stage. A simple exam test is: “only men” or “only women without a valid job-related reason” usually signals discrimination. Equal recruitment means equal access, fair criteria and selection based on ability.
