Andres Proctor · Answer 2

A) primary

Explanation:

Developing countries are most likely to engage in primary economic activities such as agriculture, mining, forestry, quarrying and extraction, this is because they have less industrial base, lesser technology, lower human development index compared to the developed nations. For a country to engage effectively in secondary and quaternary economic activities, it most have the needed technology and technical skills and these are usually lacking in developing economies so they rely more on primary economic activities which involve the production of raw materials which are eventually exported to developed countries for further processing.
