Answer option A is correct.
Harris v. Forklift Systems Inc. was referenced in the case of same-sex harassment brought to the Supreme Court in Oncale v. Sundowner (D). Oncalehelped determine that gender is of little consequence when harassment meets the statutory requirements defined in Harris. Faragher v. City of Boca Raton (B) and Burlington Industries v. Ellerth (C) were also important cases aiding in interpreting the concept of sexual harassment in the workplace.

I think the key here is understanding the difference between adding a user to a project and granting them specific permissions. The options seem to be testing my knowledge of the proper steps for managing user access in MaxCompute.
