To calculate the unemployment rate with marginally attached workers included in the labour force, we need to add the number of marginally attached workers (11) to the number of unemployed workers (17) and then divide by the labour force (100). 
(Unemployed workers + Marginally attached workers) / Labour force = (17 + 11) / 100
= 28/100 = 28% 
Therefore, the unemployment rate in this economy with marginally attached workers included in the labour force is 28%, which is option C.
