A. Executive Order 11246
B. Rehabilitation Act of 1973
C. Americans with Disabilities Act
D. Occupational Safety and Health Act
E. Executive Order 11478

C. Americans with Disabilities Act

Explanation:

According to the law, a person with a disability is an individual who is physically and mentally handicapped. The Act is generous enough to extend to people without any impairment but identified as having disabilities.

The Americans with Disabilities Act was established as a result of the discrimination and segregation meted on people with disabilities. This discrimination is evident in the denial of the right to gain from the services provided by the government and it is usually difficult for people with disabilities to get jobs. People without disabilities, usually do not like to associate with people with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act seeks to protect the rights of people with disabilities, by giving them equal rights and opportunities as everyone else.

From the above scenario, the company was wrong to terminate Florence's employment. Florence will succeed in her action against the company in the court of law because she has full protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
