Answer:

The correct answer to the asked question is option a. The reason why we say this is because as per law all those military personnel who are deployed at war zones are liable for military pay and the pay usually differs on the basis of rank,  location duty assignment, skills etc.

Now let's understand why others are false statements:

Option b there is no such provision in the federal law to give military leave and there is not much clarity on whether Andrew has been called for training or full time job. Hence the statement stands false.

Option c there are separate leave policies in military department and it depends on which rank and department you are in for being eligible for paid vacation. Hence the statement stands false.

Option d whether an employee is deployed in war zone or not, he/she is liable for pay by his employer.Hence the statement stands false.
