To analyze the statements based on the provided two-way frequency table, let's summarize the data first:

1. **Part-Time Employees**
- For the policy: 20
- Against the policy: 60
- Total: 80

2. **Full-Time Employees**
- For the policy: 100
- Against the policy: 20
- Total: 120

3. **Total**
- For the policy: 120 (20 + 100)
- Against the policy: 80 (60 + 20)
- Grand Total: 200

Now let's evaluate the statements one by one:

**I. There are twice as many part-time employees against the workplace safety policy than full-time employees against the workplace safety policy.**
- Part-time employees against: 60
- Full-time employees against: 20
- 60 is indeed three times 20, so this statement is **False**.

**II. There are more employees for the workplace safety policy than against the workplace safety policy.**
- Employees for the policy: 120
- Employees against the policy: 80
- 120 > 80, so this statement is **True**.

**III. There is an equal number of part-time employees and full-time employees.**
- Part-time employees: 80
- Full-time employees: 120
- 80 ≠ 120, so this statement is **False**.

**IV. There are more part-time employees against the workplace safety policy than for the workplace safety policy.**
- Part-time employees against: 60
- Part-time employees for: 20
- 60 > 20, so this statement is **True**.

Based on the evaluation:

- True statements: II and IV
- False statements: I and III

The correct answer is **A. II and IV**.
