Final Answer : E, Explanation :  The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) covers not only physical disabilities but also mental and psychological disabilities, as well as individuals regarded as having a disability. Zeke's situation, where he is treated as if he has a disability by his coworkers, could fall under this protection. The ADA requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations unless doing so would cause undue hardship. A private office could be considered a reasonable accommodation to prevent harassment or discrimination based on perceived disability.
