Question

Identify the activity that comes under the agriculture and related sectors.

• A. Sending agricultural products via truck
• B. Extraction of mineral and ores
• C. Using cotton to make cloth
• D. Using bricks to make houses

Answer 1

The correct option is B Extraction of mineral and ores

The primary sector of the economy includes any industry involved in the extraction and production of raw materials, such as farming, logging, hunting, fishing, and mining. Sending agricultural products via truck falls under transportation and hence, is classified as a tertiary sector activity. Using cotton to make cloth and using bricks to make houses are classified as secondary sector activities.
