Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
This situation is an example of frictional unemployment, which occurs when workers are in between jobs, voluntarily leaving one job to find another one. The worker is temporarily unemployed, but not due to any structural or cyclical factors. Disguised unemployment refers to a situation where workers are employed but their productivity is very low or insignificant.
