B.

Only two

C.

Only three

D.

All four

Correct option is B

Pair 1 is incorrectly matched.

The storage of agricultural produce falls under the tertiary sector (service sector) because it involves services related to the storage and preservation of goods, rather than the transformation of raw materials.

Pair 2 is correctly matched.

Dairy farming is part of the primary sector because it involves the extraction and production of raw materials from nature, specifically animal husbandry and agriculture.

Pair 3 is incorrectly matched.

Mineral exploration is a part of the primary sector because it involves the direct extraction of natural resources from the earth. It is closely associated with mining and natural resource extraction activities.

Pair 4 is correctly matched.

Weaving cloth is a manufacturing activity, which involves the transformation of raw materials (such as yarn) into finished goods (cloth). This falls under the secondary sector.
