Bernice landed a job interview with a company she was really interested in. During the interview, the male interviewer began to talk about the importance of planning for the future

He described the future as tentative and talked about how one's personal goals can alter one's professional goals. He then paused and asked Bernice about her personal goals. Which of the following statements best applies to this example? A. Not overtly asking Bernice for details of her personal life was a clever, ethical way for the interviewer to find out what kind of employee Bernice would make. B. If he'd asked Bernice direct questions about her sexuality, marital status, and future parenting plans, it would have been unethical and illegal; as is, he committed no breach of ethics. C. Since the interviewer vaguely referred to personal goals, there was no sexual harassment in this situation. D. Even though the interviewer didn't ask specific personal questions, his behavior (i.e., leading the applicant to reveal personal information) was still unethical.
