d. indirect spending

Answer 1

Answer:

Both contributory and noncontributory programs involve a) direct spending, in which the government lays out money to achieve a social objective.

Explanation:

First of all, we have to understand that it doesn't matter if a program is contributory or noncontributory, the federal government will support it. Of course, once the Senate and the president have authorized it. Contributory are defined as programs in which the participants have to have paid taces to participate, while noncontributory doesn't require this characteristic. So in both cases, the government gives money to accomplish the social need. Incentives on the other hand are financial motivation the government provides for someone to do something, for example buying a tesla and getting a subsidy.
