The correct statement is B) The share of services sector has increased sharply.
Over the past several decades, the Indian economy has undergone a significant structural transformation. The share of the services sector in the country’s national income (GDP) has risen dramatically and is now the largest contributor, while the share of the agricultural sector has declined substantially. The share of the manufacturing sector has remained relatively stagnant or has seen modest growth, but not a sharp decline.
