    (C). The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not cover conditions of substance abuse.

    Explanation:

    The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, shields people with disabilities from discrimination in certain instances, such as during employment and discrimination in the workplace.

    However, according to ADA of 1990, employees engaging in illegal drug or substance use, are not protected by the ADA.

    Reese, who uses illegal drugs, is therefore not protected by the ADA.
