Hmm, I'm stumped on this one. Maybe D) Medical support orders? Seems like something an employee might agree to have taken out of their pay, even if it's not technically 'voluntary'.

I'm pretty sure voluntary deductions are things like retirement contributions or health insurance premiums, not garnishments or wage attachments. Those sound more like involuntary deductions to me.

I disagree, I believe the answer is D) Medical support orders because it's also something the employee consents to.
