Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The fact that Madison does not have a specific employment contract with the company strengthens Sylas' belief that he can fire her at any time because without a contract, there may be no legal or contractual obligation to continue employing Madison. The other options are either unrelated to Sylas' belief or do not necessarily strengthen it.
