A 1993 labor law called the Family, and Medical Leave Act, or FMLA, safeguards the employment of workers who must take time off for personal or family obligations.

FMLA ensures that workers can resume their previous position when they return to work. If that position is no longer open, they must be given one practically equivalent in terms of income and status.

A worker must have worked for a company with at least 50 employees and be located 75 miles within the worksite to be eligible for the FMLA. They must also have performed during the previous 12 months at least 1,250 hours.

For events like births, adoption, and personal or family illness, the legislation provides that a qualified worker can take up to 12 weeks off (unpaid).

Therefore, the correct option is C.
