This is a tricky one. I'm torn between B and C, but I think C sounds more plausible. After all, 30 days is a pretty tight deadline compared to 180.

Definitely, 90 days allows for a fair amount of time to make a decision on whether to pursue legal action.

Yeah, 180 days is a long time to wait if you believe discrimination has occurred. 90 days strikes a good balance.

I agree, 30 days seems too short to take legal action. 90 days gives more time to consider options.

Ha! I bet the company was hoping they were in the clear after the EEOC's findings. Guess they're not out of the woods yet. This is why we need to stay vigilant on compliance.

Hmm, 180 days, huh? That's quite a long time for them to still file a lawsuit. I wonder if that's a common timeline or if it varies by state.

Oh, wow, this is tricky! I thought the complainant couldn't sue after the EEOC found no reasonable cause. Looks like I need to brush up on my employment law knowledge.
