the term compensation means
the amount of salary paid
a decrease in salary paid.
an increase in salary paid.
extra money paid.

Explanation:

Compensation in a business context refers to the total amount of money (including salary, bonuses, etc.) paid to an employee for their work. It is not just the base salary (so "the amount of salary paid" is too narrow). A decrease or increase in salary are changes to a part of compensation. Extra money paid (like bonuses) is part of compensation but compensation is more comprehensive. However, among the given options, in a simple - term understanding in some basic business terminology (if we assume a more simplistic view where compensation is considered as the total pay which can be thought of as the amount paid in salary in a very basic sense, and the other options are clearly wrong as they refer to changes or a part), "the amount of salary paid" is the closest. "A decrease in salary paid" and "an increase in salary paid" are changes, not the definition of compensation. "Extra money paid" is a component but not the whole.

Answer:

the amount of salary paid
