Cotton fibre taken from the plant is spun into yarn, and the yarn is woven into cloth. To which sector of the economy does this activity belong?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Secondary sector
The secondary sector covers activities in which natural products are changed into other forms through manufacturing. Spinning cotton fibre into yarn and weaving it into cloth is such a change, so it belongs to the secondary (industrial) sector; growing the cotton itself is a primary activity.
