Answer: This is an example of DISPARATE-IMPACT DISCRIMINATION.

Explanation: Disparate-impact discrimination can be defined as a discrimination that occurs without the intentions of the entity to discriminate. It can be said to be unintentional discrimination. This discrimination occurs when policies, practices, rules or other systems that appear to be neutral result in a disproportionate impact. Like Homer, rightly believed, "an unintentionally discriminatory effect" the test was a way to discriminate between individuals that have a particular knowledge or set skill Origami Paper Products Corporation requires.

Option C.  Policy depending on productivity will give lower income to Jonas, because, Jonas is poor already and  lives in rural area, where productivity level is generally lower. Hence, it would not benefit Jonas.
