Correct Answer:

Disparate treatment exists when individuals in similar situations are treated differently and the different treatment is based on the individual's race,color,religion,sex,national origin,age,or disability status.If two people with the same qualifications apply for a job and the employer decides whom to hire based on one individual's race,the individual not hired is a victim of disparate treatment.Disparate impact occurs when a facially neutral employment practice disproportionately excludes a protected group from employment opportunities.A facially neutral employment practice is one that lacks obvious discriminatory intent yet affects one group to a greater extent than other groups,such as an employment test.
