Answer:

d. structural.

Explanation:

Structural unemployment arises when a skill set becomes irrelevant in the job market. As a result, workers in possession of such skills are laid off.  Changes in technology, and companies moving their operations to different geographical areas, are the main causes of structural unemployment.

In the case of Kevin,  the introduction of robots meant the end to his job. His skill set has been declared redundant due to changes in technology. Kevin needs to learn a new skill as it will be challenging to get another job with his old skills.
