Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": computer programmer who leaves one job and accepts a new job.

Explanation:

Frictional unemployment is one component of what economists call natural unemployment, which is unemployment caused by things other than an underperforming economy. Frictional unemployment is caused because of temporary changes in jobs. It involves cases such as new employees entering the workforce, people moving to another city and looking for a job or people leaving to seek a better one.
