Answer:
b. It promotes equal economic opportunities for minorities.
Explanation:
The Civil Rights Act passed by Congress in 1964 gives provision for any minority person to be given the same rights as everyone. It prohibits the discrimination of a person on the basis of his/ her religion, sex, national origin, or race.
The Act deemed it <em>"an unlawful employment practice for any employer [or] labor organization… to discriminate against any individual because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin…"</em>. So, minority groups can get equal opportunity in getting jobs. This Act gives them security against any discriminatory act based on his/ her race, religion, or sex from the employers.
Thus, the correct answer is option b.
