Frictional unemployment occurs due to a time lag between the search for a job and actually getting a job offer. In other words, when people are in the process of switching jobs or transitioning from education to work or returning to the workforce, they experience frictional unemployment.

Choice A refers to cyclical unemployment caused by macroeconomic factors, Choice B is incorrect because it is the opposite of search costs, and Choice D refers to structural unemployment caused by changes in technology and production processes.
