Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Full employment refers to a situation where there is no involuntary unemployment, meaning all individuals willing to work at prevailing wage rates are employed. The reason provided correctly explains the assertion as it aligns with the economic definition of full employment. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason appropriately supports the assertion.
