Identify the sector concerned with the work of converting raw materials into finished products.
- Primary
- Secondary
- Tertiary
- Quaternary
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The Secondary Sector of the economy involves activities related to manufacturing and industry. This sector takes raw materials from the primary sector and processes them into finished goods or products, such as factories producing textiles, steel, or automobiles.
- Primary Sector: Deals with extraction of natural resources like farming, fishing, mining.
- Tertiary Sector: Provides services like banking, education, and healthcare.
- Quaternary Sector: Involves knowledge-based activities like research and information technology.
Hence, converting raw materials into finished products is a function of the Secondary Sector.
