Answer: (C)

In California workers’ compensation, when a work-related injury results in death, the employer can reimburse reasonable burial expenses, but there is a statutory cap. The limit is ten thousand dollars, so the maximum amount that may be allowed for burial expenses is $10,000. If actual costs are lower, those costs are payable; if costs exceed the cap, only $10,000 is payable. The other figures are either below the cap or exceed it, so they don’t represent the maximum allowed.
