Answer 1

Answer:

Option A                                              

Explanation:

Frictional joblessness is one form of joblessness. This is often referred to as searching insecurity, that can be dependent on specific conditions. When an employee applies for a position or moves from one workplace to another which is time wasted in employment than such condition is called frictional unemployment.

There is frictional instability, since both employers and employees are diverse, and the dynamics of market forces can lead in a shortage. Such a misalignment may be linked to expertise, salary, job time, place, mood, taste, and many other variables.
