The correct answer is:

c) Job polarization

Job polarization refers to a situation where there is an increase in job opportunities at both the high-skilled, high-wage end of the job market and the low-skilled, low-wage end, while there is a decrease in opportunities in the middle-skilled, middle-wage range. This phenomenon often leads to income inequality and wage stagnation as the job market becomes more polarized.
