In the tourism industry, businesses offer various services such as accommodation, transportation, entertainment, and guided tours to cater to the needs and wants of travelers. Unlike manufacturing, construction, and fishing, which involve the production of physical products, tourism focuses on delivering experiences and services to customers, making it a service industry.

    Manufacturing is operating at the secondary stage of production because it involves the transformation of raw materials into finished goods through various processes such as cutting, shaping, assembling, and packaging. This stage follows the primary stage, which includes activities like mining, fishing, and agriculture that extract or produce raw materials. Manufacturing adds value to these raw materials by converting them into usable products for consumers.

    The correct answer is "subsistence." Subsistence refers to producing enough to satisfy basic needs. In this context, it means that production at this level is aimed at meeting the essential requirements for survival and sustenance. It implies that the focus is on producing enough to meet immediate needs rather than generating a surplus or engaging in export or manufacturing activities.

    Forestry operates at the primary stage of production as it involves the cultivation, management, and harvesting of trees for various purposes such as timber, paper, and other forest products. This industry is involved in the initial extraction of raw materials from nature and is considered a primary industry. Construction, transportation, and communication are secondary or tertiary industries as they involve processing, transportation, and communication of goods and services rather than the direct extraction of natural resources.

    Correct Answer
    A. Extractive
    Explanation
    Production at the secondary level, which refers to the manufacturing or processing of raw materials into finished goods, relies on the extractive industry for its raw materials. The extractive industry involves the extraction of natural resources such as minerals, oil, gas, or timber from the earth or sea. These raw materials are then used as inputs in the manufacturing process to produce goods. Therefore, the extractive industry plays a crucial role in supplying the necessary raw materials for secondary level production.

It is the compensation received by the owners of capital for lending their money or resources to others. This payment is separate from other factors of production such as wages for labor, rent for land, and profit for entrepreneurship.
