answer explanation: 

<p>Low unemployment indicates that many people are <b>satisfied</b> with their jobs and not looking to switch to entrepreneurship.</p>
<p>The correct answer is <b>(C) satisfied</b>.</p>
<p>In this sentence, the word "satisfied" is used as an adjective to describe the state of the people with their jobs. It is the past participle form of the verb "satisfy". The verb "satisfy" means to fulfill or meet the needs, expectations, or desires of someone. In this context, it means that the people are content or happy with their jobs.</p>
<p>The other options, (A) satisfaction, (B) satisfying, and (D) satisfactory, do not fit grammatically or contextually in the sentence.</p>
<p>(A) "satisfaction" is a noun form of the word "satisfy" and does not describe the state of the people with their jobs.</p>
<p>(B) "satisfying" is a present participle form of the verb "satisfy" and does not fit grammatically as an adjective to describe the state of the people with their jobs.</p>
<p>(D) "satisfactory" is an adjective that means acceptable or adequate, but it does not convey the same meaning as "satisfied" in the context of the sentence.</p>
