Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Transport services are an essential part of human mobility and involve the movement of people and goods. These services fall under the secondary and tertiary sectors of the economy, not the quaternary sector, which involves knowledge-based activities.
Option (B) is correct because transport is indeed an organized industry that provides a fundamental need for physical mobility, including public and private transport systems.
Option (A) is incorrect because transport services do not fall under the quaternary sector; they belong to the tertiary sector of economic activities.
Option (C) is incorrect because digital sending and receiving of information is related to the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, not transport.
Option (D) is incorrect because while roads and railways are examples of transport, television and the internet are communication technologies, not transport services.
