Final answer:

The labor force consists of the employed plus the unemployed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The labor force consists of the employed plus the unemployed.

It does not include individuals who are not working and not actively seeking work, such as retirees, those looking after children, or those who have quit looking for work out of discouragement.

Therefore, option d) Employed plus unemployed adults is the correct answer.
