Question:

When we extract cotton fiber from plant, we spin yarn and weave cloth. According to you, this activity belongs to which sector?

Options:

Primary sector

Secondary sector

Tertiary sector

Agricultural sector

Correct Answer:

Secondary sector

Explanation:

The secondary sector covers activities in which natural products are changed into other forms through ways of manufacturing that we associate with industrial activity. It is the next step after primary. The product is not produced by nature but has to be made and therefore some process of manufacturing is essential. This could be in a factory, a workshop or at home. For example, using cotton fiber from the plant, we spin yarn and weave cloth.
