Why is it that, even though home ownership is a sign of economic prosperity, high levels of home ownership correspond with high levels of unemployment across Europe and North America?

The correct answer will connect home ownership and unemployment in a way that explains why home ownership can lead to or cause unemployment, either by causing a homeowner to lose his job or by making that homeowner less able to acquire a new job.

This explains the connection between home ownership and unemployment. If someone buys a home in a place with few available jobs, it is more difficult for him to move to a place with more available jobs and thus, it is more difficult for him to acquire a job.

This deepens the conflict by saying that jobs are more available to or convenient for homeowners. It does not provide an explanation for why home ownership and unemployment are connected.

It may be the case that home ownership and unemployment are connected even across countries in Europe and North America with different social systems. But this does not provide an explanation for why home ownership and unemployment are connected in the first place.

Like (B), this deepens the conflict by saying that jobs are more available to or convenient for homeowners. It does not provide an explanation for why home ownership and unemployment are connected.

This provides a connection between home ownership and economic security, rather than between home ownership and unemployment. We cannot assume that unemployment gives one a feeling of economic security, so (E) does nothing to resolve the apparent conflict.
