Correct Answer: Agriculture


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Agriculture

Agriculture remains the primary occupation and source of livelihood for a significant portion of the rural population in India. It is a major contributor to rural employment and plays a crucial role in the rural economy. The majority of rural households in India are engaged in agricultural activities, including crop cultivation, livestock rearing, and other allied agricultural occupations.

While other sectors such as manufacturing, services, and construction also provide employment opportunities in rural areas, agriculture continues to be the largest employer. This is due to factors such as the predominance of agriculture in rural economies, the dependence on farming for sustenance, and the limited availability of alternative job opportunities in rural regions.
