Disparate-treatment discrimination involves intentionally treating an applicant or employee less favorably because of a protected characteristic, so this framework is the key here.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Title VII and similar employment laws protect characteristics such as national origin.  
- Disparate-treatment discrimination = intentional adverse action (e.g., refusal to hire) based on membership in a protected class.  
- Disparate-impact discrimination = a facially neutral policy or practice that disproportionately harms a protected group, without requiring proof of intent.  
- A non-discriminatory decision requires a legitimate, non-pretextual business justification.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Olly applied for a job (he is an applicant).  
- Petro did not hire him specifically because of his national origin (the question states causation: “because of”).  
- This is a direct, intentional adverse employment decision tied to a protected trait.  
- Under the disparate-treatment framework, an employer’s intentional refusal to hire someone due to a protected characteristic is classic disparate-treatment.

3) Intermediate steps / elements
- Establish protected class: national origin → protected.  
- Show adverse action: refusal to hire → adverse employment action.  
- Show causation/intent: “because of” national origin → intentional discrimination.  
- Conclusion follows that this meets the definition of disparate-treatment.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
Because the refusal to hire was intentional and motivated by Olly’s national origin, it fits the legal and conceptual definition of disparate-treatment discrimination.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- Disparate-impact discrimination is incorrect because there’s no neutral policy producing unequal effects; the action was intentional.  
- “Not discrimination” is wrong because the reason given is a protected characteristic.  
- “Desperate-measure discrimination” is not a recognized legal term.

Conclusion: The correct answer is disparate-treatment discrimination. This matches the provided answer: "disparate-treatment discrimination."
