Under the Code, which of the following is included in 'Sex' as a protected ground?

• A. Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• B. Race
• C. Disability
• D. Gender identity

Answer: (A)

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are included in the protected ground of Sex because the protections extend to aspects tied to reproductive biology and caregiving. The law prohibits discrimination based on being pregnant or lactating, and it requires reasonable accommodations where needed. Race and disability are separate protected grounds with their own protections, and gender identity is protected as a distinct ground, not simply part of Sex. So the correct choice reflects that pregnancy and breastfeeding fall under Sex.
