Answer 1

Traditional classification of agriculture as a primary economic activity a problem when considering the geography of agriculture because modern farmers are engaged in production, research, marketing, and some manufacturing of their products

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Agriculture is something which has faced and has experienced tremendous amount of progression in terms of cultivation techniques, harvesting techniques and many more. It has grown so much that certain aspects of agriculture have become a secondary or even a tertiary activity.

However due to a lot of modern farmers are engaged in production, research, marketing, and some manufacturing of their product, agriculture has become a problem in being classified into a primary economic activity.
