Model Answer
(B) Secondary
The activity shown involves manufacturing/processing of natural materials into finished goods, which belongs to the Secondary sector of the economy.
---
Explanation
- Primary sector: involves natural production (farming, mining, fishing).
- Secondary sector: involves manufacturing/processing raw materials into goods (factories, construction).
- Tertiary sector: involves services (transport, banking, trade).
Since the image depicts a manufacturing or processing activity, the answer is Secondary. If the image showed farming, the answer would be Primary. Always identify whether the activity extracts, manufactures, or provides a service to pick the correct sector.
