Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Percentage of her health insurance premium paid by her employer = 75%

And deducts the remainder from her paycheck

Percentage of her health insurance paid from her paycheck is given by

$100-75\\\\=25\%$

She Rosalie is paid biweekly, means every two week she is paying the premium.

As we know that there is 52 weeks in a year

so, for biweekly , there will be 26 weeks for her to pay the premium.

Amount of annual premium = $8550

So, cost of her biweekly amount is given by

$\frac{8550}{26}\\\\=\$328.84$

Amount that will be deducted from her paycheck for health insurance is given by

$\$328.84\times 0.25\\\\=\$82.21$

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.
