Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Hannah wrongfully denied the leave because the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) covers leave for the birth or placement of a child for adoption or foster care, and the number of hours Alina works (30 hours per week) can still qualify her for FMLA leave if she meets the 1,250 hours of service requirement within the last 12 months.
