Solution

The correct option is C Underemployment
Underemployment is a situation where educated workers and other skilled workers are compelled to take up jobs that do not fully utilise their skills. It means that they end up earning less income than what they are qualified for due to a lack of job opportunities in their respective fields. This could be a direct result of overpopulation.
