Answer 1

The correct answer is Primary sector.

Key Points:

Activities that generate income are termed as economic activities.
On the basis of economic activities, the Indian economy can be divided into 3 major sectors that are the primary sector, the secondary sector, and the tertiary sector.
Dairy comes under the primary sector.
Primary sector: Primary activities are directly dependent on the environment as these refer to the utilization of the earth’s resources. It, thus includes hunting and gathering, pastoral activities, fishing, apiculture, etc.
Secondary sector: Secondary activities add value to natural resources by transforming raw materials into valuable products. Therefore, they are concerned with manufacturing, processing and construction industries. For eg: Shoe factory.
Tertiary sector: Tertiary activities include both production and exchange. The production involves the ‘provision’ of services that are consumed. The exchange involves trade, transport and communication facilities that are used to overcome distance. For eg: Consultancy.
