C. Cyclically unemployed

Explanation:

Conjunctural Unemployment, also called cyclical unemployment, is unemployment caused by an economic crisis. As shown in the question above.

This form of unemployment is involuntary. People want to work but find no job due to the depressed economic cycle. As a result of this result of the cyclical variation in economic life, that is, boom times and economic downturns, companies no longer create new jobs or lay off employees. There is a secular trend of seasonal or cyclical variations lasting approximately 3 years.

In this type of unemployment, dismissal is most often caused by transient crises. So the layoffs are temporary, once the crisis is over, jobs are again offered.
