Refusing to hire red‑headed people for manual labor.
Explanation: excluding people for having red hair is arbitrary and unrelated to job fitness, so a court would likely call it irrational discrimination. The other choices involve government interests (citizenship for certain public jobs, protecting children from hazardous work, age limits for the draft) and are more likely to survive rational‑basis review.
