The answer is option B) Frictional unemployment is inevitable because the economy needs to be lubricated.

Explanation:

Frictional unemployment is different from others in happens as a result of employees seeking out better opportunities. They could leave voluntarily or be fired from their current jobs but its is for a greater good - which is a quest for better economic opportunity.

Frictional unemployment occurs when there is a mismatch between job seekers and available jobs in the market.

It also happens due to the natural career progression for an employed staff seeking to transition to a new job, industry, or role.

Frictional unemployment is like a lubricant in the economy because an increase in frictional unemployment means more workers are moving toward better positions.
