    A The law also permits you to Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B wave your right to notice or Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C to accept a payment in lieu of Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D notice if this is agreed with the company Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word ‘wave’ is not appropriate here. The correct word is ‘waive’, which means ‘to not demand something you have a right to, or not cause a rule to be obeyed’. The law also permits you to waive your right to notice or to accept a payment in lieu of notice if this is agreed with the company.
