b.A federal tax refund estimate

Explanation
Labor Code §2810.5 (the Wage Theft Prevention Act) requires employers to provide non-exempt employees, at the time of hire, a written notice (often the DLSE 'Notice to Employee') stating the rate(s) of pay, basis of pay (hourly, piece, salary, etc.), regular payday, the employer's legal name and contact information, and the workers' compensation carrier. Non-competes are largely void in California, and no profit statement or tax estimate is required.
