The answer is B.$7.47.

Let's first calculate how much in total 75 shirts cost:
- first 19 (less than 20) cost $10: 19 * $10 = $190
- the next 30 cost $8: 30 * $8 = $240
- the rest (26 = 75 - 19 - 30) cost $5: 26 * $5 = $130

So, in total 75 shirts cost $560:
19 * $10 + 30 * $8 + 21 * $5 = $190 + $240 + $130 = $560

Since 75 shirts are ordered, there must be 75 employees, so each employee must pay $7.47:
$565 ÷ 75 = $7.47
