Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
All four designated groups, which include women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minorities, tend to be underrepresented in the Canadian labour force compared to their proportions in the general population. This underrepresentation can be due to various factors, including systemic barriers, discrimination, and differences in education and skill levels.
