Options:

Service sector

Manufacturing sector

Quinary Sector

Any of the above sector

Correct Answer:

Manufacturing sector

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2: Manufacturing sector

In the normal course of economic development, a country typically moves from the agriculture sector to the manufacturing sector. This shift is part of the process of industrialization, where economies transition from being primarily agrarian to focusing on industrial production and manufacturing, which usually precedes a shift toward the service sector in more advanced stages of development. This was true in case of China while in case of India and Pakistan the shift was directly to service sector bypassing growth in industrial sector.
