Drawing on rulings by the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, the Supreme Court has tried to define sexual harassment by ruling that
A) it is illegal for someone to request sexual favors as a condition of employment or promotion and it is illegal for an employee to experience a work environment that has been made hostile or intimidating by a pattern of offensive sexual teasing, jokes, or obscenity.
B) an employer is not liable if he or she does not know that a subordinate has requested sex in exchange for hiring or promotion.
C) a work environment is not deemed hostile or intimidating by a steady pattern of offensive sexual teasing, jokes, or obscenity.
D) employers are "strictly liable" for a hostile or intimidating work environment even if they did not know about the situation and did nothing about it.
E) sexual harassment claims cannot be made in the absence of at least three witnesses.
