Answer 1

The example of disparate impact from the given options is "a strength test implemented by a warehouse leads to hiring fewer women." Disparate impact refers to a situation where a seemingly neutral policy or practice disproportionately affects a certain group or protected class of individuals, even if there is no discriminatory intent. In this case, the strength test negatively affects women, thereby leading to the hiring of fewer female employees.
