Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer & explanation

Correct answer: option 4

The correct answer is Option (4) → A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

(A) Units employing 10 or more people — this matches (II) Organised sector. By one definition, the organised or formal sector consists of all units employing ten or more people throughout the year. Such units have to be registered with the government so that their employees get proper wages, pension and other benefits.

(B) Rise of travel industry — this matches (III) Tertiary sector. The tertiary sector covers services such as trade, transport and financial services. A travel company sells a service, not a crop or a manufactured good.

(C) Agriculture and mining — this matches (I) Primary sector. The primary sector takes its produce directly from nature, from the soil and from the earth.

(D) Construction and manufacturing — this matches (IV) Secondary sector. The secondary sector covers manufacturing, construction and utilities, where raw materials are turned into goods and buildings.

NCERT (2025-26): “The Specificity of Indian Industrialisation … In developed countries, the majority of people are in the services sector, followed by industry and less than 10% are in agriculture (ILO figures). In India, in 2018–19, nearly 43% were employed in the primary sector (agriculture and mining), 17% in the secondary sector (manufacturing, construction and utilities), and 32% in the tertiary sector (trade, transport, financial services, etc.)…”

“Economists and others often make a distinction between the organised or formal and unorganised or informal sector. There is a debate over how to define these sectors. According to one definition, the organised sector consists of all units employing ten or more people throughout the year. These have to be registered with the government to ensure that their employees get proper salaries or wages, pension and other benefits.…”
