Answer: d) Disability discrimination

Explanation:

Disability discrimination is discrimination experienced by a person due to physical disability or mental disability in a particular circumstances like interview, job-field, public place etc. Disability of people are overlooked, ignored or mocked in many situations

According to the question, Gene was facing disability discrimination because her request is being ignored by Jake and thus, Gene has to work with her broken arm forcefully even though she is disable with her arm due to accident.

Other options are incorrect because racial discrimination, age discrimination and sex discrimination was not faced by Gene. Thus, the correct option is option (d).
