Answer: (A)

This item tests the burial expense cap for California workers’ compensation death benefits. As of January 1, 2013, the law provides a one-time burial allowance up to ten thousand dollars to help cover funeral costs related to a work‑related death. This amount is a fixed statutory limit and is separate from other death benefits like ongoing indemnity or dependent compensation. The smaller figures listed in the other options reflect prior caps or different contexts, but the applicable limit starting in 2013 is ten thousand dollars.
