[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

You are correct, the answer is D) institutional discrimination. Institutional discrimination refers to policies, practices, or norms within an organization or institution that systematically disadvantage a particular group of people based on characteristics such as gender, race, or parental status. In this case, the firm's policies make it difficult for parents, primarily mothers, to fulfill their child-care responsibilities, which puts them at a disadvantage compared to those without such responsibilities.
