Correct!

The correct answer is (c). The best practice approach is to use a red ink pen to make corrections by drawing a line through the incorrect field and then filling in the correct information somewhere on the margin. The person making the correction should sign or initial and indicate the date in which they made the correction. White-out is expressly not allowed on an I-9 Form.
