Final answer:

A tipped employee is one who regularly receives more than $30 in tips per month according to the Fair Labor Standards Act in the United States. Answer (B) $30 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tipped employee is an employee who regularly receives more than $30 in tips per month. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is (B) $30. In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets the minimum amount of tips an employee must receive monthly to be considered a "tipped employee." This classification allows employers to pay a lower subminimum wage to tipped employees, on the expectation that the tips they earn will bring their total earnings up to at least the federal minimum wage.
