Explanation

Answer - C - Exempt administrative employees are typically responsible for supporting the work of an entire company and making up the "back office" staff.

Key Takeaway: The so-called white-collar exemptions (executive, administrative, and professional) are often difficult to apply to real-life situations. One has to understand that those exemptions come with both salary and duties tests and that the exemptions follow certain underlying principles. The main white-collar exemptions are professional, executive, and administrative, but also include computer professionals and outside sales representatives.
