Answer 2

b. disparate treatment discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of disparate treatment discrimination. Disparate treatment is one of the unlawful discrimination behaviours that are considered under US labor law. This type of discrimination refers to treating someone differently based on a characteristic of the person, such as race or gender. This is the case with Alessia, who is being treated differently to male referees because she is a woman.
