The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee based on certain protected characteristics.
These protected characteristics include:

Race: The EEOC protects individuals from discrimination based on race, which includes biases in hiring, firing, promotion, job assignment, and training.
Religion: Any employment decision that harasses or discriminates against individuals based on their religious beliefs or practices is prohibited.
Disability: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination in the workplace.

However, the characteristic " Marital status " is not explicitly protected under EEOC regulations at the federal level. Some states, however, have laws that do protect employees based on marital status.
Therefore, the characteristic that is NOT protected by the EEOC from the given list is:
(a) Marital status .
