    a. not part of GDP because it is a transfer payment.

    Explanation:

    Unemployment compensation includes the funds given to a worker who is currently without a job but actively seeking one. Usually, it is funded from the taxes given to the state by employers.

    GDP is the measure (in terms of money) of all goods made or services given in a time period (usually a year) in a particular country. Since the unemployment compensation does not reflect any produced goods or services, it is a transfer payment. Thus, it is not included in the GDP.
