Bridger · Answer 1

The correct answer is the option B: worker's compensation.

Explanation:

To begin with, the term of "Worker's Compensation" refers to a type on insurance that is primarily given to the workers of a company in order for them to not sue in the case that they ended up being injured during the time they are at work. Therefore that this insurance focus on providing wage replacement and medical benefits to those employees.

So once said that, in the case of Thomas, due to the fact that he was injured during his work time and doing a service call for his employer the worker's compensation would most likely provide him with income while he is incapacitated.
