Suggested Answer: A

This is an example of a bona fide occupational qualification for the position because of the nature of the job and type of employee, female, that is needed in this instance.

I think we had a similar practice question about gender-specific roles. I wonder if the answer is the same here.

I’m a bit confused about the exceptions to Title VII. Could this be justified as necessary for privacy reasons?

This seems like a straightforward operating leverage question. If the selling price per unit rises and all other variables remain constant, the operating break-even point in units should fall.

The question mentions that SSL offloading is required, so I'm thinking the clientssl profile is the way to go. And since we need to ensure persistence, the http cookie persistence option seems like the best fit.
