The correct answer is C. legal
Explanation:
Discriminative hiring practices such as only hiring people from a certain age, race, religion, gender, etc. are against the law in the U.S. and many other countries because all candidates should have the same opportunity to be hired and employers must act fairly. Also, age, religion, origin, race, etc. cannot be aspects to consider during the hiring process. In the U.S. this is supported by multiple laws including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and due to this, discriminative practices lead to legal consequences such as penalties or fines. Also, people can sue companies or employees that incur in this. According to this, it is likely the company described faces legal consequences.
