- C self-employed with their own company.

Explanation
Most working people in Germany are employees of a company or a public authority. Only a minority are self employed, unpaid volunteer work does not count as employment, and small family firms employ a small share of the workforce.

- Employees make up the large majority, self employment and family firms are smaller shares.
- Volunteer work is unpaid, so it is not counted as employment at all.
