Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Title VII of the Civil Right act prohibits any acts of discrimination from an employer based on a person's race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

In this case, Wang is being discriminated against because of his race. He has been denied work, not based on his skills or qualifications, but only because he is Asian.
