Rationale: Positive discrimination (treating a minority group 'unfairly' well) is not permitted,except in relation to training

provision. 'Quotas' are positive discrimination, because selection decisions cannot be justified on non-discriminatory

grounds: 'targets' (as in option C) are 'positive action' - because they lead organisations to encourage under-represented

groups to apply for jobs, and make non-discrimination a performance measure for selectors.
