Answer 1

The correct option is- (b) Both the statements are correct and statement (ii) is correct explanation of statement (i).

• As gathering activities do not use modern methods of technology and there is less surplus, they cannot compete in the international markets.
• The production of synthetic products use modern technology methods and are of lower prices with better quality, they are sold easily at international markets.
• Thus, many items supplied by gatherers have lost their relevance in international markets due to their low level of technology and not being able to compete with synthetic products.
