Incorrect/Incomplete question: Complete question read;

Which of the following statements correctly describes management compensation options?

A) Managers do not receive fixed salaries; instead their compensation is based on bonuses and incentives.

B) Perks (perquisites) were eliminated as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

C) Bonuses are typically awarded for meeting or achieving specific goals.

D) Stock options and awards are part of fixed salary compensation.

Answer:

C) Bonuses are typically awarded for meeting or achieving specific goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the options above with the exception of option C rightly describes management compensation plans. Remember, the term compensation includes both cash and non-cash payments an employee may receive for performing their duties well.

Hence, managers may award certain bonuses (eg 5% salary bonuses, etc) to their employees for working diligently to meet specific goals (like meeting a sales target, new customer acquisition targets, etc).
