please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each group:

• Disabled workers (I) can receive Social Security disability benefits.
• Laid - off workers (II) generally do not receive benefits funded by Social Security taxes; they may be eligible for unemployment insurance (funded differently).
• Family members of deceased workers (III) can receive survivor benefits from Social Security.

So, groups I and III (Disabled workers and Family members of deceased workers) are eligible.

Answer:

d. I and III
