B. Offering recipients of unemployment insurance benefits a cash bonus if they find a new job within a specified number of weeks 

C. Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively

Explanation:

If the price of steel rises, the production and supply of steel producing industries would rise. As a result of an increase in supply, the demand for Labour which is an input in the production process would rise.

If the price of steel rises, the production and supply of cars would fall because the price of steel which is an input in production has risen. The fall in supply would lead to fall in the demand for Labour.

As a result of an increase in the demand for Labour in the steel producing industry and a fall in the demand for Labour in the car industry, labour would migrate to the steel industry. The period of unemployment where labour moves from the car to the steel industry is known as frictional unemployment.

Frictional unemployment occurs when Labour moves from one job to another.

Government can reduce frictional unemployment by offering recipients of unemployment insurance benefits : a cash bonus if they find a new job within a specified number of weeks, this would be an incentive to intensify their job search.

Improving on the job search process also makes it easier for Labour to find jobs.
