Which of the following is a subtle form of sexual harassment?

A) requesting repeatedly for a date when the other person is clearly disinterested
B) forcing someone to accept a sexual proposition
C) making jokes with sexual overtones
D) engaging in unwanted physical touching
E) forcing someone to provide sexual favors in return for a promotion

C
Explanation: C) Organizations have generally made progress toward limiting overt forms of sexual harassment. This includes unwanted physical touching, recurring requests for dates when it is made clear the person isn't interested, and coercive threats that a person will lose his or her job for refusing a sexual proposition. Problems today are likely to surface around more subtle forms of sexual harassment—unwanted looks or comments, off-color jokes, sexual artifacts like pinups posted in the workplace, or misinterpretations of where the line between being friendly ends and harassment begins.
