Omar is paid on a fixed ratio schedule because he receives a set amount for every five calls he makes, regardless of the outcome. Patrice, on the other hand, is paid on a variable ratio schedule because he earns a commission for every subscription he sells, which can vary based on the number of calls he makes and the effectiveness of his sales pitch. Therefore, the best choice is C) fixed ratio; variable ratio, which accurately describes the payment structures of Omar and Patrice.
