Which one of the following activities is related to quaternary sector?
Explanation
Option (C) University teaching is correct because the textbook explicitly states that 'Personnel working in office buildings, elementary schools and university classrooms... belong to this category of services' under the Quaternary Sector. Quaternary activities centre around research, development and involve specialised knowledge and technical skills. University teaching involves the dissemination of information and knowledge, which aligns with the definition of quaternary activities. Options (A) Manufacturing computers and (D) Printing books are secondary sector activities involving manufacturing and production of tangible goods. Option (B) Paper and Raw pulp production is a primary sector activity involving extraction and production of raw materials.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify that quaternary activities involve collection, production and dissemination of information, and centre around research and development with specialised knowledge.
Step 2: Check each option against the definition - University teaching involves knowledge dissemination and specialised skills.
Step 3: Verify from context that 'university classrooms' are explicitly mentioned under quaternary sector.
Step 4: Eliminate other options as they belong to primary (Paper and Raw pulp production) or secondary (Manufacturing computers, Printing books) sectors.
