D
Correct answer
Explanation
'During' correctly indicates the time period of recession. 'Despite' introduces the contrast between getting a good job and lacking experience. 'On' the period is incorrect preposition usage. 'Instead' and 'inspite' (should be 'in spite of') don't convey the necessary contrast. 'While' alone doesn't capture the time frame properly.
