The correct answer is B. Unintentionally discriminatory policy.
Disparate impact refers to practices that may appear neutral but have the effect of disadvantaging a particular group based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, without intention to discriminate. This concept is important in understanding systemic inequalities that can result from policies or practices that are applied equally but have unequal effects on different groups.
