I keep getting mixed up with the definitions; I thought geographic pay differentials were related to job levels, but that seems more like option C.

I remember studying about pay adjustments based on living costs, so I feel like option B might be the right answer, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

I think a geographic pay differential has something to do with extra pay for certain locations, but I'm not completely sure if it's just for high-cost areas.
