Making sugar from sugar cane falls under which sector of economic activity?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Secondary sector.
Making sugar from sugarcane is a part of the secondary sector, which involves manufacturing and processing raw materials into finished goods. In this case, sugarcane (a primary agricultural product) is processed into sugar through various industrial methods, making it an activity related to manufacturing.
· The primary sector involves raw material extraction like farming and mining (growing sugarcane).
· The secondary sector involves transforming raw materials into goods (converting sugarcane into sugar).
· The tertiary sector focuses on providing services rather than goods (e.g., distribution, retail).
· The quaternary sector deals with information services like research and development.
Thus, the production of sugar from sugarcane falls under the secondary sector of economic activity.
