Which law prohibits discrimination against the disabled?

• A. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
• B. MyPlate
• C. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
• D. Consumer Product Safety Commission

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is understanding which law protects people with disabilities from discrimination. The Americans with Disabilities Act bans discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, public programs, public accommodations, and transportation, and it also requires accessibility and reasonable accommodations to help people participate fully. This means workplaces must provide fair chances in hiring and advancement, and buildings or services should be accessible to those using wheelchairs or with other impairments, with adjustments made when needed. MyPlate is dietary guidance, not a civil rights law. HIPAA protects the privacy and security of health information and health insurance matters, not disability rights. The Consumer Product Safety Commission focuses on keeping consumer products safe, not on protecting against disability discrimination.
