Answer 2

The odd one out is the (b) textile industry.

Primary and secondary occupations-

• An economy has been divided into three sectors based on the nature, type, and earnings of the occupation followed by people.
• These three sectors include the primary sector, the secondary sector, and the tertiary/service sector.
• The primary sector of an economy is primarily engaged in activities related to agriculture.
• These activities include the use of natural resources as their base earning. Such activities are agriculture, fishing, cattle farming, animal husbandry, or poultry farming.
• Whereas the secondary sector uses the output produced by the primary sector as their raw materials and converts that product into a finished one.
• The common examples of secondary occupations include industry, manufacturing, etc. All the industries producing products from raw materials obtained by the primary sector come under this sector.
• Thus, the textile industry is also an example of a secondary occupation and comes under the secondary sector.
• Lastly, the tertiary sector is the service sector which involves and engages in services. For example, tourism industry or banking, teaching, etc.

Thus, all the options except for the (b) are examples of primary occupations, and hence, (b) the textile industry is the odd one out.
