Detailed Explanation by Teachoo
Let’s discuss all the options:
-
Option (a) Primary and Secondary-
The primary sector includes activities that involve the extraction and production of natural resources, such as agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining etc. The secondary sector includes activities that involve the processing and manufacturing of natural resources into finished goods, such as industries, factories, construction etc. The strike announced by the transport union does not affect the secondary sector directly, as it does not involve the movement of goods from rural to urban areas. Therefore, this option is
incorrect❌.
-
Option (b) Secondary and Tertiary -
The tertiary sector includes activities that involve the provision of services to consumers and producers, such as trade, transport, communication, banking, education, health etc. The strike announced by the transport union affects the tertiary sector directly, as it involves the movement of goods from rural to urban areas. However, it does not affect the secondary sector directly, as it does not involve the processing and manufacturing of natural resources into finished goods. Therefore, this option is
incorrect❌.
-
Option (c) Tertiary, Primary and Secondary -
The strike announced by the transport union affects the tertiary sector directly and the primary sector indirectly. It affects the primary sector indirectly because it prevents the farmers from selling their products in urban markets and causes food scarcity in urban areas. However, it does not affect the secondary sector directly or indirectly, as it does not involve the processing and manufacturing of natural resources into finished goods or the movement of goods from rural to urban areas. Therefore, this option is
incorrect❌.
- Option (d) Tertiary and Primary - The strike announced by the transport union affects the tertiary sector directly and the primary sector indirectly. It affects the tertiary sector directly because it involves the provision of services related to the transport of goods from rural to urban areas. It also affects the primary sector because it involves the extraction and production of natural resources such as vegetables and milk that are transported from rural to urban areas. It does not affect the secondary sector at all because it does not involve the processing and manufacturing of natural resources into finished goods or the movement of goods from rural to urban areas. Therefore, this option is correct✅.
Thus, option (d) is correct because it describes the sectors that are affected due to the strike carried out by the transport union.
