Option B. $155

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay Ward has already been taxed on his earning on $107,600.

So on this paycheck only  ($110,100 - $107,600) = $2,500 of his earnings are taxable for social security tax.

Social security tax rate = 6.2%

Hence, social security tax amount = 6.2% × 2500

                                                         = 0.062 × 2500

                                                         = $155

Option B. $155 is the answer.
