Dear Student
Option A  is correct.The primary sector continues to be the largest employer because:
(1) Enough jobs have not been created in other sectors.
(2) No more competition in the primary sector.As they have their ancestral farming lands.
(2) Primary sector requires comparatively less education than the other two sectors.
(3) Most of the unemployed people take up activities of primary sector in hope of earning some money.
