  • (A) Quaternary - (IV) Research scientist: Quaternary economic activities involve intellectual pursuits, research, and development. Research scientists typically engage in quaternary activities by conducting research, developing new technologies, and advancing knowledge in various fields.

  • (B) Secondary - (I) Manufacturing: Secondary economic activities involve the processing of raw materials into finished goods. Manufacturing is a primary example of a secondary activity, where raw materials are transformed into products such as automobiles, electronics, textiles, etc.

  • (C) Tertiary - (III) Taxi services: Tertiary economic activities involve providing services rather than producing goods. Taxi services are a typical example of a tertiary activity, where individuals provide transportation services to customers in exchange for payment.

  • (D) Primary - (II) Mining: Primary economic activities involve the extraction of natural resources from the Earth. Mining is a primary activity where minerals, ores, coal, oil, gas, etc., are extracted from the Earth's crust for further processing and utilization.
