D
Explanation
Indirect discrimination refers to policies, procedures, requirements or conditions which appear neutral or fair, but they disadvantage certain individuals or groups disproportionately and aren't adequately justified. Option A, 'Interview bias' can be considered indirect discrimination as it represents individual biases against certain groups during interviews. Option B, 'Small print application forms' can indicate indirect discrimination through making applications inaccessible to those with visual impairments. Option C, 'No disabled access to the upper floor in the workplace' can be a form of indirect discrimination by potentially excluding disabled applicants. While 'structured interviews', Option D, generally possess defined questions and standardized evaluation criteria to mitigate bias, favouring neutrality and faireness thereby in most cases not considered as indirect discrimination.
