Imagine you can set your own salary without any restrictions. However, there's a catch: your salary must be determined by a factor unrelated to money, such as the number of times you've laughed in a day, or the number of steps you've taken. What unconventional metric would you choose to determine your salary, and why? Choose one only.

• a. number of times you’ve laughed per week

• b. number of times you’ve said a prohibited word (bad word) per week

• c. number of times you’ve eaten a snack per week

• d. number of times steps you’ve taken per week
