Under this division, 'compensation' means compensation and includes benefits conferred by this division upon an injured worker or, in the event of his death, upon his dependents.

• A. Only wage replacement benefits.
• B. Medical and wage replacement benefits only.
• C. All benefits conferred by this division upon an injured worker or dependents.
• D. Benefits limited to medical care.

Answer: (C)

The main concept here is that “compensation” in this division is an umbrella term that covers every benefit the division provides to an injured worker, or to his dependents if he dies. It isn’t limited to wage replacement or to medical care alone. In this system, benefits include wage replacement, medical treatment, and other payments and services authorized by the division—such as death benefits, burial benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and permanent disability benefits. The wording that compensation includes “all benefits conferred by this division upon an injured worker or dependents” signals a broad, inclusive scope, not a narrow one. That’s why this choice is the best fit: it reflects the full range of benefits the division can provide under the workers’ compensation framework. The other options restrict the scope to just wage replacement, or medical care, or both, and thus do not capture the complete meaning of compensation.
