Answer 1

Hint: Human impact on the environment directly or indirectly affect it. We, humans, are dependent directly on nature to fulfill our needs. We do hunting, mining, fishing and agriculture for our livelihood.

Complete answer: Humans are dependent on the nature of their survival. We are dependent on nature and from them we take the natural resources that are manufactured for our needs only and are later used up as a income source.
let us infer first about the option given
Primary activities are those activities in which humans are closely related to the natural environment. Gathering, hunting, mining, lumbering, rearing and fishing are some of the common examples of primary activities. We take up the resources from the environment directly to fulfil our needs.
Secondary activities is the occupation in which finished goods are formed by using the products of the primary activities as a raw material.They are secondary activities because the final product is to be produced not by nature but has to be made by the men and are thus manufactured as they are essential.
Quaternary activities are specialised tertiary activities which demand a separate classification. There has been a very high growth in demand for and consumption of information based services from mutual fund managers and many more.
Quinary activities are services that focus on the creation, re- arrangement and interpretation of new and the existing ideas or the data interpretation and new technology has been used to evaluate them. Their importance in the structure of advanced economies is at the top. They are also termed as "gold collar professions' '.

So, the correct answer is option A, Primary.

Note: Human activities which are used to generate income to fulfill our needs are known as economic activities . These activities are broadly of three types- primary, secondary and tertiary. High services under tertiary activities are again classified into quaternary and quinary activities.
