Correct Answer:
B. Secondary sector
Explanation:
The correct answer is Secondary sector.
Electricity production is classified as part of the secondary sector because it involves the industrial processing and transformation of raw materials into a utility. While the primary sector focuses on extracting natural resources and the tertiary sector provides services, the secondary sector encompasses manufacturing and construction activities that convert inputs into tangible energy products. Production plants take energy sources—such as coal, gas, or renewable resources—and use industrial machinery to generate power, which is a hallmark of the manufacturing-based economic stage.
