Explanation:

The Code on Social Security, 2020 has defined “gig worker” as a person who performs work or participates in a work arrangement and earns from such activities outside of traditional employer-employee relationship.

Traditional workers have a long-term employer-employee relationship in which the worker is paid by the hour or year, earning a wage or salary.
Gig work may include freelancing, temp agency work, self-employment, and subcontracted work.

NOTE: On September 19, the government withdrew three Bills related to labour laws and replaced them with new versions with some changes as– Industrial Relations Code Bill, 2020, Code on Social Security Bill, 2020 and Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code Bill, 2020.

Hence option 2nd is correct.
