Only two
Only two. Dairy farm is primary; weaving cloth is secondary. Storage is tertiary; mineral exploration is not tertiary in this pairing.
- C

Only three. Storage of produce is tertiary (services), not secondary — pair 1 fails. Mineral exploration is primary/extractive, not tertiary — pair 3 fails.
- D
All four
All four. Pairs 1 and 3 are mismatches.
Summary. Official key is (b) only two. Dairy farming is primary. Weaving is secondary (manufacturing). Storing agricultural produce is a tertiary/service activity, not secondary. Mineral exploration is a primary-sector activity, not tertiary. So only pairs 2 and 4 match.
