Answer: An illegal interview question

Explanation:

Illegal interview questions are known to be questions which are not allowed by law to be asked by interviewers or employers of labour during an interview process. According to the law, some criteria such as age, sex, race, colour, religion, disability, marital status and so on should not be the determinant factor in employing employees of an organisation. Thus, legal interview questions are supposed to be asked during an interview.
