Answer: C) Unemployment where more people are employed than actually needed ❤️
Explanation: Disguised unemployment occurs when more people are employed in a job than are actually needed to perform it. This is common in the agricultural sector in India, where a large number of workers may be involved in tasks that could be accomplished with fewer people. The extra workers do not contribute significantly to productivity, indicating that their labor is essentially redundant.

River Rejuvenation is the result of a sudden fall in sea level or a sudden uplift in land surface due to tectonic movements.
This disturbance enables a rise in river’s potential energy (energy stored in river due to newly created height difference from base level).
This energy results in increased river bed erosion. Vertical erosion or downcutting is associated with river rejuvenation as seen in Chambal Ravines.
