D Correct answer
Explanation

Lay-off under Section 2(kkk) of the Industrial Disputes Act means the employer's inability to provide work due to reasons beyond their control (shortage of coal, power, raw materials, etc.). It is NOT dismissal, removal, or retirement - the employment relationship continues, and the workman is entitled to compensation. It's a temporary situation.
