Explanation:

Cyclical unemployment is called that because this is a natural part of the economic booms and busts, meaning that when the economy is growing there is a low unemployment rate and when there are slower and recessive developments, the rate tends to be higher.

Frictional unemployment is a short term rate as it only exists during the shifts of the workers.

Natural unemployment rate is the average rate that exists even when the economy is functioning normally. this exists mainly due to several common reasons such as number of people who can't do a job, the demographics of the workforce, etc.
