Answer 1

Cottage Industry

Explanation:

Note: Since the picture is not provided, we will discuss the points related to general cottage industires.

• Cottage industries are small-scale home-based industries. They use locally available raw materials due to a limited budget. They also use left-over from large-scale industries e.g. sugar, steel and cotton industries, to make by-products.

• They produce products that require less and cheap labour. Such as home-baked food, canned food, furniture, toys etc.

• Since, these industries are small, they can't afford heavy machinery. Hence, most of the work is done by hand.
