Explanation

The examiner expects the term "tertiary sector" (also acceptable: "service sector"). The passage explicitly states: "in 2017–18, the tertiary sector has emerged as the largest producing sector in India replacing the primary sector." Do not write "secondary sector" — that is a common mistake. Just naming the sector correctly fetches the full 1 mark.
