B) 90%

Explanation:

In order for an employer to qualify for the maximum credit against FUTA taxes (Federal Unemployment Tax Act), they have to file their annual return in time and also pay their state contributions in time. If they file their report late or miss the state contributions due date, they will be sanctioned by lowering the maximum credit from 5.4% to 4.86% (90% of maximum credit).
