Labour Force Survey Unemployment Criteria Steps:

• Recall ILO standard for labour force surveys: unemployment requires no work, active job search, and availability.
• Note eligibility for benefits is administrative, not a survey classification factor.
• Eliminate options requiring benefits eligibility or lacking availability/seeking.
• Select option matching no benefits requirement, yes availability, yes seeking.

Why C is correct:

• Matches ILO definition: actively seeking work and immediately available classify unemployment; benefits eligibility is not required.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Lacks availability, so not unemployed despite seeking.
• B: Lacks active seeking, so not unemployed even if available and benefit-eligible.
• D: Lacks both availability and seeking, so clearly employed or out of labour force.

Final answer: C
