Question

Which of the following sector(s) are interdependent?

• A. Primary
• B. Secondary
• C. Tertiary
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

All three sectors are interdependent to each other.

• Primary sector: There are many activities that are undertaken by directly using natural resources. For example, the cultivation of cotton. Cotton production depends mainly (though not entirely) on natural factors like rainfall, sunshine and climate. So cotton is a natural product.
  
• Secondary sector: This sector covers activities in which natural products are changed into other forms through ways of manufacturing that we associate with industrial activity. It is the next step after primary.
  
• Tertiary sector: After primary and secondary, there is a third category of activities that falls under tertiary sector. These activities help in the development of the primary and secondary sectors. But these activities, by themselves, do not produce a good but they are an aid for the production process.
  

Thus it is clear that the various economic activities, though grouped into three different categories, are highly interdependent.
