• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (A)

Sexual harassment is defined by conduct that is unwelcome and that either has the purpose of or, more importantly, has the effect of substantially interfering with work or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment. This captures both the impact on job performance and the atmosphere employees must avoid, which is exactly what policies and laws aim to prevent. So the statement is true because it reflects how harassment is judged by its effect as well as its intent. False would miss the importance of the impact on work or the surrounding environment, and options like not sure or sometimes don’t provide a definitive stance aligned with workplace standards.
