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!

Wow, this is a tough one. I'm gonna go with C just to be different. A charge is the evidence that unlawful discrimination has occurred. You know, like a smoking gun!

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!

Hmm, I'm torn between A and D, but I think D is the better choice. A charge is definitely a formal complaint, not just documentation.

Option A seems to be the correct answer. A charge is the documentation of an alleged unlawful discrimination, which is the formal process of filing a complaint.
