Answer - D - The best response is self-employed individuals, as all others are covered or possibly covered under OSHA.

Key Takeaway: Although OSHA designates certain low-risk industries as exempt from OSHA reporting requirements, those industries are still covered by the OSH Act. Family farms are only exempt from OSHA coverage if they do not employ anyone who is not a family member. Federal government employees are covered under OSH Act (state and local government employees are not covered but often covered under state sponsored OHSS legislation).
