Solution :
Employers who engage in casual employment do so to fill workforce gaps that arise during periods of high economic activity. In casual employment, an employee's employment may be ended immediately.
It is result of the business cycle, where unemployment rises during recessions and declines with economic growth
Hence option a is the correct answer.
