A trucking company has employees who load 100-pound sacks on trucks. Of those who apply for the jobs, one man in three can lift 100-pound sacks, but only one woman in fifty. As a result, all 40 employees are men. In sex discrimination suit, the most likely result will be that the company will:
 a. lose because the statistics prove the structure of the employment situation is discriminatory

  c. win because there is a business necessity that produces the all male workforce d. win because the work involved is traditional male work
  e. none of the other choices
