Detailed Solution

(A) is false but (R) is true.
An individual who manufactures flour from wheat is engaged in the secondary sector, not in the primary sector, as the products are not manufactured directly from nature. However, when a product gets involved in some manufacturing process, it is a part of the secondary sector; the secondary sector is also called the industrial sector because the goods in the secondary sector are manufactured or processed in different industries and then available to consumers. Hence, (A) is false but (R) is true.
