Answer 1

The correct option is D Production of goods after processing raw materials into more valuable products.

The activities through which we obtain raw materials from nature as inputs are called primary activities. Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and mining are considered to be primary activities. The activities that convert raw materials into finished products are called secondary activities. Manufacturing is the production of goods after processing raw materials into more valuable goods.
