Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The ADA requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities to ensure equal employment opportunities. This includes modifying workstations, altering work schedules, providing additional training or equipment, or making other adjustments to allow individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions. The other options (on-the-job therapists, eliminating unemployment among the disabled, guaranteeing employment, and paying all medical benefits) are not specifically required by the ADA.
