Explanation:

The unemployment rate is defined as the number of unemployed individuals divided by the total number of people in the labor force (which includes both employed and unemployed people who are actively seeking work). The first option is incorrect as it uses the total number of people in society (including those not in the labor force like children, retirees, etc.). Multiplication is not used in the formula for the unemployment rate, so the second and fourth options are wrong.

Answer:

C. divided by the total number of people in a labor force.
