The highest unemployment rate is most likely to occur during which of the following phases of the business cycle? a. contraction b. expansion c. peak d. recession

The answer choice that best answers this question is D. Recession.

Recession indicates a time of loss and low numbers and profits. Contraction and expansion represent growth and new beginnings in a business which would not result in unemployment. And a businesses peak is when it’s at its largest, and best producing point. So the only option that would lend to unemployment is recession.

I hope this helps! :)

I believe the correct answer is Recession
