Answer 1

Answer:

Sexual harassment

Explanation:

In psychology, the term sexual harassment refers to a type of unwelcome sexual behavior that is either humiliating, offensive or intimidating. It includes making comments regarding appearance in a work environment, usually by people who have more power than the person who is being harassed.

In this example, Allison's boss often makes comments about how fit and attractive she looks, we can see that he has more power than Allison and he's making comments that are offensive or intimidating to her and therefore she is starting to ignore him. This is an example of sexual harassment.
