Model Answer

(C) Disguised unemployment

Explanation

Disguised unemployment means more workers are employed on a task than actually needed — removing some would not reduce output. It is most common in agriculture in rural India. The textbook explicitly discusses this under underemployment in the agricultural sector (Chapter 2). Students must not confuse it with seasonal unemployment (no work in off-season) or open unemployment (no work at all).
