(B), D), (C), (A)

Correct Answer:

(D), (B), (C), (A)

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2: (D), (B), (C), (A)

(D) Majority of population enrolled in agriculture: This describes the early stage of India's economy after independence, where most people were engaged in agriculture, a primary sector activity.

(B) Shift from primary to tertiary sector witnessed:Over time, especially after the 1980s and 1990s, there was a shift toward services (tertiary sector) and away from agriculture.

(C) Process of disinvestment emerged: Disinvestment in public sector undertakings (PSUs) began prominently in the 1990s, as part of the liberalization policies.

(A) Lack of job security: This is a feature of unorganised sector.

Note: There seems to be an anamoly in the question in respect of statement D. This statement does not reflect a specific historical event or stage within the process of Indian industrialisation. Instead, it describes a persistent structural feature of the Indian economy, particularly during the pre-industrial and early post-independence phases — and even today, a significant portion of the population is still dependent on agriculture. The given answer is as per NTA answer sheet.
