The correct answer is a.

Explanation:

Telecommuting refers to the work practice where employees are no longer required to physically commute to their place of work, but instead, they can work from home or any other location. Employees receive job assignments, submit results, and stay in touch with their employers by other means, usually telephone, e-mail, and online platforms.

According to the "2017 State of Telecommuting in the U. S. Employee Workforce" report, there was a 115% increase in the telecommuting workforce in the span of a decade, from 1.8 million employees in 2005 to 3.9 millions in 2015.
