Answer 2

Option (B) bonded labour is constituted by the unemployed and half-employed labourers.

Explanation:

• Bondage labour also known as debt bondage, debt slavery, bound labour or peonage, is the pledge of a person's services as security for the repayment of a debt or other obligation where the terms of repayment are not clearly or properly defined, and the debtor has some control over the labourer.
• Debt repayment is supposed to lead to freedom. The services required to satisfy the debt may be undefined, as well as the length of such services, allowing the alleged debtor to demand services indefinitely.
• When an individual makes a promise to supply services to pay off debt, the employer frequently illegally inflates interest rates to an unreasonably high level, making it impossible for the individual to escape bonded labour. Debt bondage can be carried down through the generations.
