What are the two types of sexual harassment?

• A. Verbal harassment and nonverbal harassment
• B. Quid pro quo and hostile work environment
• C. Physical harassment and emotional harassment
• D. Bullying and intimidation

Answer: (B)

Sexual harassment is recognized in two main forms: quid pro quo and hostile work environment. Quid pro quo occurs when employment decisions or benefits are conditioned on submitting to sexual advances or requests, such as promising a promotion or pay raise in exchange for a date or sexual favors. A hostile work environment happens when unwelcome sexual conduct or remarks are so frequent or severe that they create an intimidating or abusive workplace and interfere with performance or well-being. This can include persistent jokes, comments about appearance, explicit material, or unwanted touching. The key is that the conduct is unwelcome and creates a work environment that a reasonable person would find hostile. The other terms describe behavior or general harassment but are not the formal categories used to define sexual harassment.
