Correct Answer: Agriculture


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Agriculture

Agriculture continues to be the largest employer in the Indian economy. It employs a significant portion of the country's workforce, especially in rural areas. Many people in India are engaged in various agricultural activities, including farming, livestock rearing, and related occupations.

While other sectors such as manufacturing, services, and construction also contribute to employment generation, agriculture remains the primary sector employing a substantial number of people in India. However, it is worth noting that the contribution of other sectors, particularly services, to employment has been increasing over time.
