Explanation

A constant is a named value that does not change during program execution. Since the pay rate is the same for all workers and does not vary, it should be declared as a constant rather than a variable. This prevents accidental modification, improves code readability, and signals to other developers that the value is intentionally fixed. An object or array would be overly complex for a single fixed value, and a function is used to perform actions, not store a static value.
