Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Discrimination is the act of treating someone unfairly or unjustly based on their gender, race, religion, or any other characteristic. By not hiring a woman simply because she is a woman, it is a clear act of discrimination. Prejudice and stereotype activation can lead to discrimination but in this scenario, the act of discrimination itself is already present. Sexual objectification refers to reducing someone to their physical appearance or sexual appeal, which is not relevant in this scenario.
