Final answer:

The correct answer is C. Unable to provide a direct EI deduction for Sally Shy due to missing information about the EI deduction rate and considering Sally's age, any attempt to calculate EI would likely not apply as she is beyond the typical age for EI contributions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked to calculate the EI (Employment Insurance) deduction for Sally Shy, who is 72 years old, collecting Canada Pension Plan benefits, works part-time, earning $15.00 per hour, and has worked 19 hours in her pay schedule. Since the question provides no specific information regarding EI deduction rates, and given the fact that the subject seems to be entangled with an unrelated example about a person named Susan, this leads to a confusion that prohibits a direct calculation of Sally's EI deductions. To address the question properly, one would need the EI deduction rate, which typically is a percentage of gross income. However, as no such rate is provided in the question prompt or the additional context, and because Sally is also over the maximum age for EI contributions, we cannot accurately determine an EI deduction for Sally. Instead, we can discuss the factors involved in calculating EI deductions.

Employment Insurance deductions typically depend on the individual's earnings and the EI premium rate, which is subject to change and varies by province. Additionally, there is a maximum insurable earnings threshold, beyond which EI deductions are not taken. It should also be noted that individuals over 65 may not be required to pay EI premiums, depending on their situation and the rules within their province.
