Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Economic activities are grouped into sectors by what kind of work is done: taking things from nature, making goods from them, giving services, and working with knowledge.
(A) Primary Sector — this matches (III) Mining. The primary sector takes resources directly from nature: agriculture, fishing, forestry and mining.
(B) Secondary Sector — this matches (IV) Steel Factories. The secondary sector turns raw materials into goods by manufacturing; a steel plant turns iron ore into steel.
(C) Tertiary Services — this matches (I) IT Services. The tertiary sector provides services rather than goods, such as transport, banking, trade and information technology.
(D) Quaternary services — this matches (II) Research Scientists. The quaternary sector is the knowledge sector: research, development and the creation and sharing of information.
