Correct Answer:

Explanation:
Regular salaried work is more popular among men than women because it requires a high level of skills which women don't have due lack of women's literacy in India.
Self-employment is a major source of livelihood in rural areas than in urban areas as maximum people in rural areas have their own land and work there independently.
Jobless growth was witnessed during the 1990s, which indicated that there was a rise in the GDP of the country without generation of employment.
Disguised unemployment is primarily witnessed in the agriculture sector where more than the required people are working in the given field.
