Answer :

To solve the problem of determining the amount of income tax withheld each week from a weekly gross taxable income of $1,166 with no exemptions claimed, we can use the provided tax withholding table.

Here are the steps to find the correct answer:

1. Identify the income range:
- The weekly gross income is $1,166.
- We need to find which range $1,166 falls into from the table.
- Looking at the table, we see that [tex]$1,166 lies in the range starting from $[/tex]1,160 to less than $1,170.

2. Identify the appropriate column for no allowances:
- Since there are no exemptions or allowances claimed, we look at the column labeled "0" for the number of withholding allowances.

3. Read off the tax withhold amount:
- In the row corresponding to the income range [tex]$1,160 to less than $[/tex]1,170, and in the column for 0 allowances, we see the value $344.

Therefore, the amount of income tax withheld each week for a weekly gross taxable income of $1,166 with no exemptions is \( \boxed{344} \).

The best answer from the choices provided is:
d. $344
