A risk committee is reviewing an AI model used to score job applicants for a technology company. The model was trained on profiles of historically successful employees, the majority of whom are male. The model's top scoring threshold accepts 28% of male applicants and only 14% of female applicants. Under the EEOC's uniform guidelines and the 4/5ths rule, what is the correct assessment?

B is correct because the 4/5ths (80%) rule requires that the selection rate for any protected group be at least 80% of the rate for the highest-selected group. Here, the female selection rate (14%) is 50% of the male rate (28%). Since 50% is below 80%, the model fails the 4/5ths test and indicates adverse impact. The 4/5ths rule is based on ratios, not absolute differences (C). It applies to any selection procedure including AI-based ones (D). Both rates being above 10% (A) is irrelevant to the ratio calculation.
