Answer
- B social insurance
Explanation
Anyone in permanent employment automatically pays contributions to social insurance: health, long-term care, pension and unemployment insurance. The employer deducts them from the wage and pays them together with the employer's own share. Social assistance, child benefit and housing benefit, by contrast, are state benefits that you receive.
