Think carefully.

Explanation

This is a description of a depression - the worst of all economic situations, which governments will do almost anything to avoid.

A recession is a decline in the performance of the economic factors mentioned (unemployment ris-es), and technically in the UK, a recession would be two successive quarters of decline (reducing economic activity / reducing GDP). A recovery is coming out of recession, and a boom is when the economy is in the opposite state to the depression shown in the question. Generally, an economy's behaviour is cyclical.
