Question
Economic liberalisation mainly affects which sector?
- A. Primary and Tertiary
- B. Primary and Secondary
- C. Secondary and Tertiary
- D. Primary, Secondary and Tertiary (Correct answer)
Correct Answer
Option D — Primary, Secondary and Tertiary
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is Primary, Secondary and Tertiary.
Key Points
- Economic liberalisation — cutting state restrictions and opening up to private enterprise and foreign trade — ultimately touches all three sectors.
- Manufacturing (secondary) and services (tertiary) transform fastest through competition, deregulation and FDI, but agriculture (primary) is also reshaped by new trade policies, market access and technology.
- Options that name only two sectors are half-truths that mistake 'most affected' for 'only affected'; liberalisation is economy-wide by design.
