The correct answer is C) The ADA does not cover conditions of substance abuse.

Explanation:

The purpose of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is to protect people with disabilities from abuses or discrimination. This includes the protection against discrimination at work in factors such as working conditions, hiring processes, etc. Additionally, this act protects almost all disabilities except by those related to conditions such as substance abuse or addictions. In this context, the ADA would not protect Reese because her disability is related to substance abuse, and therefore, this would weaken her argument.
