Answer: (C)

Executive Order 13658 was established on February 12, 2014. This order set new minimum wage requirements for certain federal contractors, raising the minimum wage to ensure that employees working on federal contracts receive fair compensation. This was part of a broader movement to improve wage standards for workers in specific sectors. The Executive Order applies to contracts and subcontracts, thus reinforcing the commitment to providing competitive wages to workers engaged in government services. The choice of 2014 reflects the year when significant changes in labor standards were mandated under federal contracting rules.
