Answer:

B) frictional and structural unemployment

Step-by-step explanation:

Frictional unemployment is the result of being in between jobs. You are considered frictionally unemployed when you are looking for a new job.

Structural unemployment refers to a situation where jobs exist, but the applicants don't match the skills needed for the jobs. Structural unemployment is caused by external forces to the business cycle (e.g. low education levels).
