To find the employee's gross pay, we need to add up all the deductions to the net pay. 

The given deductions are:

- Federal withholding (FED.): $98.00
- Social Security withholding (SOC. WITH.): $52.88
- Medicare (MED. CARE.): $12.37
- State withholding (STATE WITH.): $22.54

The net pay is $667.17.

Now, let's calculate the total deductions:

\[
\text{Total Deductions} = 98.00 + 52.88 + 12.37 + 22.54 = 185.79
\]

Next, we add these deductions to the net pay to get the gross pay:

\[
\text{Gross Pay} = 667.17 + 185.79 = 852.96
\]

Thus, the employee's gross pay is **$852.96**, which corresponds to option **d**.
