The option that is NOT an example of voluntary exchange is:

Charles is required to pay taxes that fund public schools.

In this case, Charles does not have a choice in the matter; the payment of taxes is mandatory and not the result of a voluntary transaction between two parties. In contrast, the other examples involve individuals making choices based on their preferences and circumstances.
