    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Net Pay for the employee:

    = Wages Per Month - Federal Income Taxes Withheld - FICA Social Security - FICA Medicare - Health Insurance - Health Insurance

    = $5,750 - $192 - $356.5 - $83.38 - $160 - $80

    = $4,878.12

    Therefore, the amount of net pay for the employee for the month of January is $4,878.12.
