Which provision of the Civil Rights Act banned employment discrimination and created the EEOC?

• A. Title IX.
• B. Title II.
• C. Title VII.
• D. Title VI.

Answer: (C)

The provision that targets employment discrimination and sets up the enforcement body is the one to know here. It bans discrimination in hiring, firing, promotions, pay, and other terms of employment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and it established the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to enforce those protections and handle complaints. That combination— outlawing workplace discrimination and creating the EEOC to enforce it—is exactly what this provision does.

The other provisions address discrimination in different areas: public accommodations, education, and programs receiving federal funding, but they do not specifically center on employment or create the EEOC. So this provision stands out as the one that both protects workers and creates the agency to enforce those protections.
