Which action would most likely cause the equal employment opportunity commission to intervene? a.) a company post an ad looking to hire a male computer programmer b.) a corporation has a board of directors made up entirely of men c.) a researcher publishes a study claiming young workers are superior to older workers d.) a police force in a largely african american neighborhood is mostly made up of white officers

The correct answer is A.) A company posts an ad looking to hire a male computer programmer.

Indeed, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or EEOC, was created by President John F. Kennedy to suppress discrimination in the workplace and enforce civil rights for all protected categories (age, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). In this particular instance, the protected category would be gender. The employer is posting an illegal add that specifically disqualifies female applicants and thus, the EEOC would immediately intervene upon learning about the violation.
