Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
(A) Size — this matches (II) Cottage based artifacts. Cottage or household industry is the smallest unit by size; artisans make artifacts at home.
(B) Inputs (Raw material) — this matches (I) Animal based leather industry. Leather comes from animals, so the industry is grouped by its raw material.
(C) Output (Product) — this matches (IV) Basic – Iron and Steel. Iron and steel is a basic industry, because its product is the raw material of other industries.
(D) Ownership — this matches (III) Public Sector. Public sector industries are owned and managed by governments.
