In which situation do both gender and age-based inequality appear at the workplace?

Correct answer: Removing a senior woman from client role despite competence

The direct answer is B. Removing a competent senior woman from a client-facing role shows discrimination connected with both gender and age. First identify the two grounds: she is treated unfavourably because she is a woman and because she is senior or older. Option B is correct because the decision ignores her competence and reduces her opportunity on the basis of these combined identities. Option A, hiring a young man because of skill, does not automatically prove inequality: if skill is genuinely the fair reason and everyone is assessed equally, the decision is not necessarily discriminatory. Option C, giving equal safety to all workers, shows fairness rather than inequality. Option D, opening training to every age group, supports inclusion rather than exclusion. The lesson is that equal opportunity means judging people by relevant ability, not stereotypes about women or older workers. Exam cue: when two unfair personal grounds operate together, identify combined or intersectional discrimination.
