Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": the minimum wage.

Explanation:

Price floors are limits imposed by the government on certain prices securing those prices will not fall below what the regulation establishes. Price floors benefit providers of goods and services by allowing them to earn at least a minimum amount to cover the operations of their businesses.
