Which term refers to any act or conduct which is unwelcome or offensive, humiliating or intimidating, including acts of physical intimacy, spoken words, gestures, or the display or circulation of written material, pictures or requests for sexual favours?

• A. Discrimination
• B. Harassment
• C. Innovation
• D. Reality perception

Answer: (B)

Sexual harassment is unwanted conduct of a sexual nature that can be physical, verbal, or visual and that creates an intimidating or humiliating environment. The description lists unwelcome acts such as physical intimacy, inappropriate spoken remarks, gestures, or the display or circulation of sexual material or requests for sexual favors. That combination—unwanted, offensive behavior of a sexual nature across different forms—is exactly what defines harassment. Discrimination refers to treating someone unfairly because of a protected characteristic, not the behavior itself. Innovation and Reality perception don’t describe this kind of behavior. So the best fit is harassment.
