d) Supervision

Explanation:

Independent contractors are not considered employees of the contracting entity. Legally, independent contractors are a separate employment center. For this reason, the contracting entity is not required to offer employment benefits to the contractor as it provides to its employees.

Independent contractors are required to make their social security contributions like everybody else. They should take care of their medical expenses, transports, and other work-related expenses. The contracting entity or the broker is only expected to supervise the independent contractor's work.
