Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Reinstatement is a common form of relief in employment discrimination suits, allowing the employee to return to their job. Other options like imprisonment and fines are not typical remedies under civil employment discrimination laws, and orders to close a business are extremely rare and not a direct remedy for individual discrimination claims.
