Solution

The correct option is C A small or marginal farmer
The unorganised sector covers most of the rural labour and a substantial part of urban labour. lt includes activities carried out by small and family enterprises. In this sector, wage-paid labour is largely non-unionised due to casual and seasonal nature of employment and scattered location of enterprises. This sector is marked by low incomes, unstable and irregular employment, and lack of protection either from legislation or trade unions. The unorganised sector uses mainly labour intensive and indigenous technology.
