Solution

The correct option is C The primary sector and the secondary sector are dependent on each other.
The situation explained in the question shows the dependence of the primary sector (agriculture) on the products of the secondary sector (tractors, pump sets, pesticides, and fertilisers). Similarly, the secondary sector is dependent on the primary sector to sell its products. So, we can conclude that the primary sector and secondary sector are dependent on each other.
