Right.
Sexism refers to the discrimination or prejudice based on someone's gender, typically favoring one gender over the other. In order to determine which of the given options is sexist, we need to assess whether any gender bias is present.
a. "Our team leaders are Clarke Betz, Brian Early, and Carole Wagner." This option does not exhibit any sexist bias as it simply lists the names without indicating any gender preference.
b. "Our new sales reps are Mr. Betz, Mr. Early, and Ms. Wagner." This option is also not inherently sexist as it identifies the gender of each sales representative. However, it may be seen as reinforcing traditional gender roles by specifying the gender only for the female representative.
c. "Our new sales reps are Mr. Betz, Mr. Earley, and Carole." This option shows a potential bias as the gender is specified for the male representatives but not for Carole. This could be perceived as assuming Carole's gender is irrelevant.
d. "our new sales reps are Clarke, Brian, and Carole." This option does not demonstrate any sexist elements as it mentions all the sales representatives without specifying their gender.
Based on the analysis, option c. "Our new sales reps are Mr. Betz, Mr. Earley, and Carole" could be considered as potentially sexist due to the implied gender bias. It assumes that the genders of the male representatives are important enough to mention, but not for Carole.
