Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities in order to enable them to perform the essential functions of their job, which may include accommodations for testing. Both the Civil Rights Act of 1991 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 are federal statutes that address discrimination and accommodations for individuals with disabilities, but they do not specifically require accommodations for testing in employment. The Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is a federal education law that requires accommodations for students with disabilities, but it does not apply to employment testing.
