James is a 57-year-old accountant who has worked for a large software firm for almost 30 years. His yearly evaluations have always showed that he exhibits high performance. Despite this, he is notified that he will be laid off the next month and that he will be replaced by a younger employee. James views his manager's decision as unfair, so he decides to make an appointment with a human resource (HR) manager. The HR manager would probably inform James that:
 A) his manager's decision is illegal under the Fair Labor Standards Act as any age-related layoffs require that the employees be given at least six months' notice.
  B) his manager's decision is illegal under Title VII, which prohibits employers from discriminating against an employee based on his or her age.
  C) his manager has the authority to lay off older workers.
  D) his manager is right because the company can benefit from a younger workforce.

  B) In response to changing business needs, employers transfer or lay off employees.
