I feel like option D sounds right because it mentions submitting to an agency, which is what we discussed in class.

I’m a bit uncertain here. Is a charge just the evidence of discrimination, or does it have to be something more formal?

I think a charge refers to a formal complaint, but I'm not sure if it's just the documentation or if it has to be submitted to an agency.

Seriously, Deeanna? An individual who lodged a complaint is the charge? That's like saying the suspect is the crime. Option D all the way!

I'm going with Option B. A charge is an individual who has lodged a formal complaint. Doesn't matter what the agency says, that's who a charge is!
