The correct answer is: A) Agriculture

Agriculture is the primary sector of the economy of Madhya Pradesh, accounting for 28% of the state’s GDP. The state is a major producer of rice, wheat, pulses, oilseeds, and sugarcane. The government of Madhya Pradesh has been focusing on the development of agriculture in recent years, with a focus on increasing productivity, improving irrigation facilities, and providing subsidies to farmers.

  • Manufacturing is the second largest sector of the economy of Madhya Pradesh, accounting for 21% of the state’s GDP. However, the government of Madhya Pradesh has not been focusing on the development of manufacturing in recent years.
  • Tourism is a growing sector of the economy of Madhya Pradesh, but it accounts for only 6% of the state’s GDP. The government of Madhya Pradesh has been focusing on the development of tourism in recent years, but it is not a major focus of the state budget.
  • Mining is a small sector of the economy of Madhya Pradesh, accounting for only 1% of the state’s GDP. The government of Madhya Pradesh has not been focusing on the development of mining in recent years.
