Understanding Economic Sectors and Industries

The video tutorial explains the classification of economic activities into four sectors: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary sector involves extracting natural resources, while the secondary sector focuses on manufacturing finished goods. The tertiary sector provides services, and the quaternary sector deals with knowledge creation and distribution. As economies develop, they typically shift focus from primary to quaternary sectors.

Which of the following sectors is primarily involved in the extraction of natural resources?
