EEOC stands for Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. This is the U.S. federal agency responsible for enforcing laws that prohibit workplace discrimination, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The name reflects its role as a commission (a governing body with enforcement authority) focused on equal opportunity in employment.

The other phrasings don’t fit because they use different terms—committee, organization, or council—instead of the official commission, and they alter the key concepts of “Equal Employment Opportunity.”
