Economic Development Shifts from Agriculture to Industry and Services

Steps:

• Recall stages of economic development: countries transition from agrarian economies to industrialized and service-based ones.
• Evaluate options against typical changes: rising incomes, declining unemployment, growth in manufacturing/services, and reduced agricultural reliance.
• Identify mismatch: look for changes that contradict the shift away from primary sectors like agriculture.
• Confirm: option C combines a developing-sector increase (tourism) with a primary-sector expansion (agricultural exports), which is atypical.

Why C is correct:

• In Rostow's stages of growth, developing economies shift resources from agriculture to manufacturing/services, reducing agricultural exports' dominance as productivity rises elsewhere.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Manufacturing and shipping both expand during industrialization, aligning with development.
• B: Subsistence farming decreases as urbanization grows, while financial services expand in mature economies.
• D: Higher incomes and lower unemployment are hallmarks of economic progress via structural transformation.

Final answer: C
