Correct Answer:

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation.

Explanation:

In the course of economic development of a country, labour flows from agriculture and other related activities to industry and services. In this process, workers migrate from rural to urban areas. Eventually, at a much later stage, the industrial sector begins to lose its share of total employment as the service sector enters a period of rapid expansion. This process of development is mostly witnessed by all the developed countries of the world.
