Fran should not inspect Lucas' work just because he has asked for time off based on a religious holiday.
Answer option A is incorrect. There's no evidence of past historical discrimination in this example.
Answer option B is incorrect. This isn't a valid answer for the question as any discrimination based on religion falls into disparate discrimination.
Answer option C is incorrect. Quality control does inspect the quality of the work, but it's equal for all project deliverables, not just the deliverables tied to Lucas and his request for time off for the religious holiday.

I’m not confident, but I feel like it could also be seen as quality control. However, the focus on Lucas's religion makes me think it’s more about discrimination.

Okay, let me break this down step-by-step. The manager is agreeing to the time off request but also closely monitoring the employee's work. That sounds like it could be a form of disparate treatment.

I think the key here is that the manager is singling out this employee's work for extra scrutiny because of the religious holiday request. That seems like it could be a case of religious persecution in the workforce.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to redirect stderr to /dev/null while sending stdout to the file. I think option E is the right answer.
