All the above

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "A": 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative election is a systematic choice made by employers regarding the employees' 401k retirement accounts. It requires the administrators to enroll their subordinates in a plan they must elect but not participate. Thus, the employer enrolls the workers in a given plan and then the employees are offered to be withdrawn from the plan after a period of time.
