Solution

The correct option is C primary
The primary sector is the largest employer in India. Nearly 51% of the population is engaged in this section in one way or the other. However, its share in the national GDP is very less. This is because the average size of land holdings is very low, resulting in low productivity per holder. Also, less use of modern technology and know-how among farmers to increase crop productivity results in low income.
