Question

deductions on a paycheck may include:
company profits
free benefits
taxes and insurance
coupons and store discounts

Explanation:

To determine deductions on a paycheck, we analyze each option:

• "Company profits" are earnings of the company, not deductions from an employee's paycheck.
• "Free benefits" are provided at no cost to the employee, so they aren't deductions.
• "Taxes and insurance" (like income tax, social security tax, health insurance premiums) are commonly deducted from an employee's paycheck.
• "Coupons and store discounts" are for purchases, not payroll deductions.

Answer:

C. Taxes and insurance
