Answer 1

The correct option is B

Primary Sector

In an economic setting, the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors reflect diverse business types and the items they acquire and sell. Every sector is interdependent on the others to ensure that the economy as a whole runs smoothly.

The materials for the secondary sector are acquired in the primary sector. The product is then transformed into consumable items in the secondary sector, which are ultimately distributed by the tertiary sector.

Primary sector

• It is known as the agricultural and allied sector services and this sector provides raw materials for goods and services.
• The primary sector is unorganised and uses traditional techniques. Activities in this sector consist of agriculture, forestry and mining.
• In most developing nations such as India, this sector is where a large section of the workforce is employed, in comparison to developed nations.
