I would have to say a primary economy (D). The primary sector of an economy involves getting raw materials like fish, so D would make sense.

The answer is:

D. Primary

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary sector of the economy relates to the extracting or harvesting products from the earth. Therefore activities associated with primary economic activity include agriculture, mining, forestry, grazing, hunting and gathering, fishing, and quarrying. Since fishing lies in primary economies so it is the only possible option given in these choices.
