Solution

The correct option is A Primary
When we produce a good by exploiting natural resources, it is an activity of the primary sector.
For example, the cultivation of cotton. It takes place within a crop season. For the growth of the cotton plant, we depend mainly, but not entirely, on natural factors like rainfall, sunshine and climate. The product of this activity, cotton, is a natural product.
