Which of the following questions is legal to ask when interviewing a prospective employee?

  1. Are you 18 years or older?

  2. Do you have children?

  3. What is your religious affiliation?

  4. Have you ever filed for bankruptcy?

The correct answer is: Are you 18 years or older?

Asking a prospective employee if they are 18 years or older is legal because age may be a requirement for certain job positions or tasks due to legal restrictions or safety concerns. It is important to ensure that the candidate meets the legal criteria for employment. The other options are not legal to ask during an interview: B. Asking if the candidate has children can be perceived as discriminatory based on family status. C. Inquiring about the candidate's religious affiliation is not permitted as it relates to their protected characteristics under anti-discrimination laws. D. Inquiring whether the candidate has ever filed for bankruptcy is not relevant to their ability to perform the job and could be seen as a discriminatory financial inquiry.
