Question

why would network systems employees be employed by the government?
because they provide communication and data security
because they are associated with a charitable organization
because they create and sell software
because they hire self - employed workers

Explanation:

Government entities rely on secure communication and data systems to manage sensitive public information, critical infrastructure, and internal operations. Network systems employees support these core government functions by maintaining and securing these essential systems. The other options do not align with typical government employment for this role: creating/selling software is private-sector focused, association with charity is not a government employment driver, and hiring self-employed workers does not explain why network systems staff are employed by the government itself.

Answer:

A. because they provide communication and data security
