Answer 1

The correct option is C Rohan is a farmer who cultivates rice.

Seasonal employment activities are economic activities that happen only during a particular period of time. Once that period is over, the workers get pushed into unemployment. Seasonal employees are poorly paid and are food insecure.

Teachers, bakers, and tailors have employment throughout the year. However, agriculture is a seasonal activity, and Mani is employed only during the agricultural season.
