which would be your #1?

I know that this might be a simple question, but I have over-thought it to the point of not knowing if I'm right anymore.
The longer I stare at this question the more I feel like they could all be correct to some degree.
I think it's C? But it could also be D 😭 Please help!

I've recently started thinking about master's programs mainly because I've reached almost the halfway point of my third year of university. The cost for Grad school is pretty expensive and it takes longer where I'm from, not to mention I don't really have that many options in Canda because I'm in a pretty new stream of school ( I have one option). It costs about 8k dollars and 2 years to get my Master while in Europe my program is broken down into just one year 23k (it could be 5,000 if I apply for citizenship)

so the governement reckons that our unemployment rate was at an all time low (pre covid). the government says that casual employment counts as someone being employed. so if most people are employed as casuals, that lowers the rate of unemployment and makes the government look good. it also means that most people are struggling to make ends meet. which means the poverty rate is higher.
if we go back to employment security. it means our unemployment rate will go up. which would actually give us a more realistic view of whats going on. it means that if your hired as a casual after 6 months you should be offered a full time job. it means that jobs listed "with experience" would be more relevant because you would have worked 6 months as a casual somewhere before hand. it means that if an employer had a full time job to fill that they wouldn't be able to hire a million casuals to compete for the hours of that 1 full time job. it means that your employer would have to invest in job training and employees would feel like their employer was loyal. it would mean that instead of the current expectation that you should have 3 long term jobs in your life time... you could actually just have one career.

the governmet goes on about how they are investing in job creation and skills in australia.
more people being employed as casual doesn't mean that more people are keeping their head above water.

i understand this is such a huge issue and I've not nearly gone into as much detail as possible. just covered summary items.
