By paying unequal rates for the same task, XYZ Textiles discriminates against women. This is a clear breach of the Code on Wages Act of 2019, which requires equal remuneration for labour that is either the same as or similar to that done by men and women. The company's defence does not excuse them from this infraction. hence, option B is correct option .
