Model Answer

The electronics industry is both a basic (e.g., computers, radars, telecom equipment used in other industries) and a consumer industry (e.g., television, transistor sets used directly by consumers).

Explanation

The question expects you to recognise that electronics doesn't fit neatly into one category — it supplies inputs to other industries (basic) AND produces goods for direct consumer use (consumer). Mentioning one example for each role earns full credit. Keep it to one line as it is 1 mark.
