Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The primary sector produces goods by directly exploiting natural resources. It includes agriculture, fishing, forestry, animal husbandry, etc. The secondary sector processes the raw materials, which are products of the primary sector, into goods that consumers can use. The tertiary sector helps develop the primary and secondary sectors by providing its services. For example, a farmer grows wheat on land, a primary sector activity. He then transports the wheat to a mill. Here, transport is a service in the tertiary sector. The mill grinds the wheat and sells the flour to a supermarket. Here, the mill is the secondary sector, as it processes the raw material of wheat into flour for consumption purposes. The supermarket is a tertiary sector that provides the service of selling final goods to consumers.
So, the correct statement would be that the tertiary sector helps develop the secondary and primary sectors.
