Step-by-step explanation:

Voluntary Deduction : The deductions which are optional

Involuntary deductions : The deductions which are mandatory.

FICA : The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) is a U.S. law that creates a payroll tax requiring a deduction from the paychecks of employees based on percentage of gross pay. So, it is mandatory for all to pay and comes under involuntary deductions.
