• None of these

Answer 1

Both disguised unemployment and seasonal unemployment

Explanation:

The type of unemployment found in the agriculture sector in India is both disguised unemployment and seasonal unemployment. Disguised unemployment occurs when more people are employed than actually required, so their removal does not reduce production. Seasonal unemployment happens due to lack of work during certain seasons, especially in agriculture, where employment is mostly available during the cropping season, leaving farmers unemployed for several months.
