The question mentions that the researcher computed a test for independence at a .05 level of significance, but the actual test results or statistics are not given. Without this information, we cannot make a decision about the relationship between job security and life satisfaction. However, if the computed test shows that there is no statistically significant relationship between the two variables, then we would choose option C - Job security and job satisfaction are independent.
