B. 1 = checked, 0 = not checked

C. 1 = not employed, full-time student, 2 = employed full-time, 3 = employed part-time, full-time student, 4 = not employed, other, 5 = other

Explanation:

In coding a survey question, it is representing each words with codes which are numeric for easy process by the computer. So in this particular survey question, each of the options in the questions are to be represented by numbers ranging from one to 5 that are enough to go round for the coding of all the options while the missing ones meaning ones in which ni response was given or no survey was seen can be given 9 or a number outside the code framework if the code framework is much.

answer: e
