Solution

The correct option is B 60
In terms of employment, the share of primary sector in 2000 was about 60 per cent. The primary sector continued to be the largest employer even in the year 2000. It is because not enough jobs were created in the secondary and tertiary sectors. Even though industrial output or the production of goods went up by eight times during the period, employment in the industry went up by only 2.5 times.
