Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "A": Jeffrey will be solely responsible for making payments for his Social Security (FICA).

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent contractors act like third party services working for an entity to render services for specific jobs. Independent contractors are not employees of the company who hires them for the job which implies the independent contractors are fully responsible for the payment of their own Social Security and Medicare taxes.
