Solution

The correct option is C Small-scale manufacturing
In the secondary sector, small-scale manufacturing absorbs most of the labour. Agriculture belongs to the primary sector. Biotechnology belongs to the tertiary sector. Earlier, agriculture was considered the most labour absorbing sector of the economy. In recent years, there has been a decline in the dependence of the population on agriculture, partly because of disguised unemployment.
