Abdul Worked for Primus Finance Co

Abdul worked for Primus Finance Co. Following a series of disastrous losses, several of the company's customers have sued Abdul in tort. Because Abdul has relatively little money, however, those customers also want to sue Primus Finance. Primus Finance denies vicarious liability by arguing that Abdul was an independent contractor rather than an employee. A court is more likely to decide that Abdul was an independent contractor if

A) Abdul was paid a consistent amount by Primus Finance every two weeks.
B) in order to perform his work, Abdul used an office and computer system that belonged to Primus Finance.
C) the customers who are suing protected themselves against losses through insurance policies.
D) Abdul decided for himself when, where, and how he would provide services to Primus Finance.
E) Abdul committed his torts against the company's clients deliberately, rather than carelessly.
