Solution
The correct option is A Agriculture
There are more people in agriculture than is necessary. So, even if few people are moved out , production will not be affected. In other words, workers in agricultural sector are underemployed. Each one is doing some work but no one is fully employed. Such kind of underemployment is hidden in contrast to someone who does not have a job and is clearly visible as unemployed. Hence, it is also called as disguised unemployment.
