Correct answer: B — Equality Act duties requiring assessment of capability and reasonable adjustments

The relevant framework is disability discrimination law and the duty to consider reasonable adjustments. The assessment should focus on the essential functions of the role and the candidate's functional capacity, not diagnosis alone. Withdrawal without exploring adjustments may create legal risk.
