B.
Contractors generally have more control over when and where they work (a key factor in classification). The other statements are incorrect: employees receive a W-2 (not a 1099), employees are usually paid wages or a salary (not normally "per project"), and contractors typically are paid by invoice/project/hourly — not a predetermined annual salary. Legal tests for classification (IRS/common-law/ABC tests) vary, so consult a tax or employment expert for specific situations.
