  2. The ADEA prohibits favoring the old over the young, and it also prohibits favoring the young over the old.
  3. Younger employees (even if they are over the age of 40) cannot allege age discrimination because of programs that favor older employees.
  4. Younger employees (even if they are over the age of 40) can allege age discrimination because of programs that favor older employees.
Explanation
Answer - C - In General Dynamics Land Systems v. Cline (2004), the Supreme Court ruled that younger employees (even if they are over age of 40) cannot allege age discrimination because of programs that favor older employees.

Key Takeaway: Option A is not the best response, as the court case established that the ADEA does not prohibit favoring the old over the young. Although ADEA prohibits favoring the young over the old, it does not prohibit favoring the old over the young. Option D is not the best response since younger employees cannot allege age discrimination.
