Model Answer
Option A: Primary Sector – Fishermen is correctly matched.
Fishermen extract natural resources directly from nature, placing them in the Primary Sector.
Explanation
- Primary Sector involves activities directly using natural resources (farming, fishing, mining, forestry). Fishermen clearly belong here.
- Priests provide religious services → Tertiary Sector; Basket weavers manufacture goods → Secondary Sector; Gardener works with nature → Primary Sector, not Quaternary.
- The Quaternary Sector involves knowledge-based activities (IT, research, consultancy) — not manual/garden work.
- Examiners expect you to identify the correctly matched pair; justifying the chosen answer briefly strengthens the response even in a 1-mark MCQ.
