Based on the diagram, we see that Jon has not hired any employees (represented by a 0 in the lower left cell of the table), while Sam has hired an unspecified number of employees (represented by a * in the lower right cell of the table). Therefore, the most appropriate choice for "E" is (0,*), indicating that E may or may not have been hired by Jon, but has definitely not been hired by Sam (since he has hired at least one employee). The other choices (A and B) do not accurately reflect the information given in the diagram.
