Question

Economic liberalisation mainly affects which sector?

  1. A. Primary and Tertiary
  2. B. Primary and Secondary
  3. C. Secondary and Tertiary
  4. 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.
