Answer 1

Solution-

Frictional unemployment depends on the years or work experience of the population.

The correct option is B. the years or work experience of the population.

Reason-

Frictional unemployment depends on the duration and the imperfection of the matching process between vacancies and workers searching for a better job. Such a mismatch can be related to many factors. Among others, it can depend on personal skills, remuneration, work-time, and location. The rate of frictional unemployment depends on the frequency and the period of time spent by workers in switching from one job to another.
