In order to stop discrimination against people with disabilities in the workplace and during the recruiting process, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990. All privately owned companies with 15 or more workers must comply with the ADA. Government employers, employment firms, and labor unions are also included.

The ADA also increased accessibility and mobility for people with disabilities by requiring automatic entrances, ramps, and elevators to fit wheelchairs in establishments, both public and private.

The ADA does not provide protection for anyone who is currently using unlawful drugs or substances.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
