There are two equally qualified candidates for the position and you are moving forward with a phone screen. One candidate is female, and the Manager is worried that she may take a maternity leave within the first year of being hired. He is requesting that you ask her about this in the phone screen. What is the best answer?

	We should move forward with the same phone screen for each candidate. So, I will also ask the other candidate if they are planning to have children and may need time off as a result.
	I am not conducting a phone screen. There are only two candidates so I will ask them both to drive to Belleville and simply do one face-to-face interview.
	Sure! Given the importance of the position, I understand that this would have a negative business impact so I will ask her about her family planning when I am conducting the phone screen
	It is discriminatory not to hire someone due to the fact that they may have a family and require a leave to do so. As such, we should conduct a phone screen which is focused solely on the position and move forward with the most qualified candidate.
