Maybe the firm could try the 'I'm not touching you' defense. You know, keep their fingers just millimeters away from violating the law. Foolproof, right?

Option C is clearly a trap answer. 'Is a non-extraterritorial law' - what does that even mean? Sounds like it was written by a lawyer with a sense of humor.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards Option D. Sovereignty immunity just sounds like the kind of legal loophole a company would try to exploit, you know?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Option A about treaty rights might be the correct answer. Wouldn't that override U.S. domestic law in certain situations?

Sovereignty immunity might also be a legitimate defense for a U.S. firm operating in other countries.

I think Option B about being compulsory by foreign law could also be a valid defense.

Option A about treaty rights could potentially override U.S. domestic law.

Option B seems like the most straightforward and sensible answer. If a foreign law requires a certain action, the U.S. firm should have a valid defense against Title VII.
