I vaguely remember that employers can use polygraph results in certain situations, especially in controlled substances cases. So, I think option D could be false.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The EPPA requires employers to post information about the Act, allows some exceptions for certain professions, and prohibits certain types of testing. I just need to figure out which statement doesn't align with those key points.
