(A) the unemployment rate being four per cent, there is a rough balance among jobs and job seekers - "Among" incorrectly used to compare 2 objects. "between" should be used instead.

(B) should the unemployment rate be four per cent, there is a rough balance among jobs and job seekers - Same as (A)

(D) if the unemployment rate is four per cent, there is a rough balance between jobs and job seekers Correct

(E) there is a rough balance among jobs and job seekers when there is an unemployment rate that is four per cent -"Among" incorrectly used to compare 2 objects
