answer explanation: 

<p>The correct answer is <strong>(B) compliant</strong>.</p>
<p>The sentence is in the passive voice and the subject of the sentence is "employees". Therefore, we need an adjective that describes the employees. </p>
<p>Option (A) "comply" is a verb, not an adjective, so it is not the correct answer.</p>
<p>Option (B) "compliant" is an adjective that means willing to comply with rules or instructions. It fits well in the sentence and correctly describes the employees.</p>
<p>Option (C) "complies" is a verb form that is not suitable in this context.</p>
<p>Option (D) "compliancy" is a noun form that is not suitable in this context.</p>
