The correct answer is option 'D', i.e., statement 4 is not correct. Let's analyze each statement to understand why.
1. Seasonal unemployment happens when people are not able to find jobs during some months of the year.
- This statement is correct. Seasonal unemployment occurs when individuals are unable to find employment during certain months or seasons of the year. This is often seen in industries or sectors where work is dependent on weather conditions, such as agriculture, construction, tourism, etc.
2. People dependent upon agriculture usually face seasonal unemployment.
- This statement is correct. Agriculture is highly influenced by seasonal factors like monsoon, cropping patterns, and harvesting periods. Hence, people engaged in agricultural activities often face unemployment during off-seasons when there is no work available.
3. In case of disguised unemployment, people appear to be employed.
- This statement is correct. Disguised unemployment refers to a situation where more people are engaged in a task or occupation than required. In such cases, the productivity of each individual is very low, and removing a few individuals from the occupation would not affect the overall output. This type of unemployment is common in the agricultural sector, where surplus labor remains engaged in farming activities, resulting in reduced productivity.
4. Rural areas have mostly educated unemployment.
- This statement is not correct. Educated unemployment refers to the situation where educated individuals are unable to find suitable employment according to their qualifications. While educated unemployment can be observed in both rural and urban areas, it is more prevalent in urban areas due to the concentration of industries, higher competition, and limited job opportunities in rural areas. In rural areas, the lack of quality educational institutions and limited access to job opportunities may contribute to underemployment or unemployment, but it may not necessarily be categorized as "educated unemployment."
In conclusion, statement 4 is not correct because rural areas do not necessarily have mostly educated unemployment.

In the case of India we have unemployment in rural and urban areas. However, the nature of unemployment differs in rural and urban areas. In the case of rural areas, there is seasonal and disguised unemployment. Urban areas have mostly educated unemployment.
