Which of the following behaviors are included in sexual harassment?

• A. Unwelcome sexual advances
• B. All of the above
• C. Requests for sexual favors
• D. Other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature

Answer: (B)

Sexual harassment can take many forms, not just obvious coercion. It includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. When any of these behaviors are unwelcome and create a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment—or interfere with someone’s ability to do their job—they’re considered harassment. Since every item on the list fits one of these categories, all of them are examples of sexual harassment. For clarity, think of it as encompassing inappropriate advances, coercive requests, and unwanted sexual conduct or remarks—each of which can contribute to a prohibited hostile environment.
