Solution

The correct option is C Industries provide opportunities to upskill and get better wages.
The agricultural sector witnesses a decreased employment rate due to the declining marginal productivity of the land. As land is a limited resource, employing excess labour force on a piece of land does not help in increasing the overall output. Therefore, the wages would remain constant or become less.

Industries drive technological changes. To adapt to these new technologies, people constantly need to upskill themselves. As a result, labour productivity also increases. It means that each unit of labour can now achieve more output than before. This helps in earning more wages.
