\nThe correct option is A.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– As of the period this question likely pertains to (early 2010s), Agriculture and allied activities continued to be the largest employer in India, despite its declining share in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
\n<\/section>\n
\nWhile the Tertiary (services) sector’s contribution to India’s GDP is the highest and has been growing rapidly, the Agriculture sector still provides employment to the largest proportion of the workforce, particularly in rural areas. Manufacturing and Construction sectors employ significant numbers but their share was less than that of Agriculture. The trend is towards a shift in employment share away from agriculture towards services and manufacturing\/construction, but agriculture remained the dominant employer in the early 2010s.
