Rationale: The organisation has laid itself open to a claim of indirect discrimination, because ifthe selection decision had been made on the basis of a question asked of a woman but not of men, it may have been construed as such. (This rules out

options D and A.) The claim would not succeed (ruling out option B) because the organisation would be able to justify the

apparently discriminatory conditions on non-discriminatory (job-relevant) grounds.Pitfalls: You need to get to grips with the

basics of how this works, and recognise examples when you see them.
