I remember practicing a question about what can be asked on job applications, and I think background checks are usually okay as long as they're relevant.

I'm pretty confident that race, gender, and sexual orientation are not allowed on job applications. The tricky part is figuring out which of the remaining options is actually permitted. Hmm, let me think this through...

Okay, I've got this. The key is to remember that employers can't discriminate based on protected characteristics like race, gender, or sexual orientation. So the correct answer has to be something that's allowed, like a background check request.
