Question

At the initial stages of development, the sector was the most important sector of economic activity.

• A. primary sector
• B. secondary sector
• C. industrial sector
• D. tertiary sector

Answer 1

The correct option is A primary sector

It has been noted from the histories of many, now developed, countries that at initial stages of development, the primary sector was the most important sector of economic
activity. As the methods of farming changed and the agricultural sector began to prosper, it produced much more food than before, many people could now take up other activities and this gave rise to the service sector.
