The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has specific requirements for its provisions to apply, particularly concerning the minimum number of employees a business must have. The correct answer is one employee because the FLSA can potentially affect any employer with at least one employee engaged in interstate commerce or in the production of goods for commerce. This means that even small businesses, with just a single employee, fall under the jurisdiction of the FLSA if they meet this criterion.

The other options refer to thresholds that apply to different labor laws. For instance, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which addresses employment discrimination, applies to employers with 15 or more employees. Similarly, certain requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) establish a minimum of 15 employees. Therefore, while other laws have higher thresholds, the FLSA's influence begins with just one employee.
