OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
A
This is a textbook comparison question. The question even uses the word "contrast" before comparing two things, "rising unemployment rates in the US
and Canada", and "the Chinese unemployment rate". Each of the last four answer choices fail to make an appropriate comparison. Unemployment rates must be compared to other unemployment rates. For instance, (B) is wrong because it compares "rising unemployment rates" to "China". (C) and (D) do the same. (E) compares the "rising unemployment rates" to "increasing demand abroad", which is also not comparable. (A) is correct.
