Answer
- D The woman is having a baby and her boss knows it.
Explanation
Pregnant women and mothers up to four months after giving birth are specially protected against dismissal if the employer knows about the pregnancy (Section 17 of the Maternity Protection Act). Frequent lateness or private matters during working hours, by contrast, can justify dismissal after a warning. Long illness can also be a reason for dismissal under certain conditions.
