E) She was not invited to regular Friday staff lunches with the guys

Explanation:

Discrimination refers to unequal or unfair treatment owing to forming a prejudice against an individual. It could be on account of an individuals race, sex, nationality, caste, etc.

The federal law strictly prohibits any sort of job discrimination on the grounds of age, sex, religion, nationality, color, etc.

In the given case, of all the scenarios mentioned, the one which would be regarded as discriminatory would be, the employee not being invited to regular Friday staff lunches with the guys unlike other employees.

This conveys inequality towards the employee and amounts to a discriminatory practice, which would justify her filing a lawsuit against it.
