The correct answer is option C, i.e. an independent contractor, who is hired by an employer to fulfil a specified goal. The company does not have a control over such individuals as they work on a freelance basis. They are not bound by labour and employment laws.
Due to such circumstances, they exercise much more freedom in the work that they do as the employers cannot dictate them as they would do to their full-time employees.
Companies also sometimes prefer to hire them as they do not have to provide insurance and bonuses to such contractors.
