Answer:

b. disparate- impact discrimination

Explanation:

Disparate impact discrimination is a term used to refer to a situation where a member of a protected class felt harmed in a situation where he or she suffered unintentional discrimination. That is, this member suffered a type of discrimination that seemed harmless or neutral, but which harmed that member or harmed the group to which he belongs.
