Madhu started rolling bidis when she was very young and gets paid on the number of bundles she makes in a week. This is called:

A. piece-rate work
B. informal work
C. independent work
D. home-based work

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A, D, B only

The correct answer is Option (1) → A, D, B only

• A. Piece-rate work: This accurately describes Madhu's situation. She gets paid based on the number of bidis she makes (piece rate), not the time she spends working.
• B. Informal work: While Madhu's work might lack certain formal aspects like regular contracts or social security benefits, it's not the defining characteristic in this context. The focus is on the payment method.
• C. Independent work: This doesn't fully apply as Madhu seems to be working for someone else, receiving payment based on her output, not working independently and setting her own rates.
• D. Home-based work: Madhu is indeed working from her home, making bidis, which aligns with this concept.
