Sexual harassment is described as:

• A. Sexual harassment
• B. Unwelcome advances
• C. Harassment of property
• D. Discrimination

Answer: (A)

Sexual harassment is conduct of a sexual nature that is unwelcome. The term itself is used to name this specific type of misconduct, which can include unwanted advances as well as other verbal, visual, or physical actions that create a hostile or uncomfortable environment. The other options point to related concepts but do not name the behavior as precisely: harassment of property isn’t about sexual conduct, and discrimination is a broader category that can include many different kinds of unfair treatment. Unwelcome advances are a common aspect of sexual harassment, but naming the behavior as sexual harassment correctly identifies the phenomenon being described.
