(1 point) a fixed amount paid per completion of a unit of a good. any amount paid to someone for any reason. an annual amount agreed upon in advance paid to a full - time employee to perform a role regardless of time spent. a fixed amount paid per period of time spent working.

Explanation:

To determine what a wage is, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: A fixed amount per unit of a good is piece - rate pay, not a wage.
• Option 2: "Any amount paid for any reason" is too broad and does not define a wage specifically.
• Option 3: An annual amount paid to a full - time employee regardless of time spent is a salary, not a wage.
• Option 4: A wage is typically a fixed amount paid for each period of time spent working (e.g., hourly wage, daily wage).

Answer:

D. A fixed amount paid per period of time spent working.
