To find out how much will be withheld from Oscar's paycheck for income tax in all, we first calculate the amount of state income tax withheld: 23% of $154.00 = $35.42.
Then, we sum the amount of federal income tax withheld ($154.00) and the amount of state income tax withheld ($35.42): $154.00 + $35.42 = $189.42.
Therefore, the correct answer is d. $189.42.
