  3. C
    Primary production and tertiary production
  4. D
    Secondary production and primary production

Answer

Primary production and secondary production
Primary production involves the extraction of raw materials directly provided by nature, such as timber logging. Secondary production involves transforming raw materials through manufacturing or construction into finished products, such as crafting furniture from wood logs.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the stage of production for timber extraction
Logging extracts natural resources directly from the environment without changing their basic form, which constitutes primary production.
Primary production involves extractive industries like agriculture, fishing, mining, and forestry.
2
Identify the stage of production for furniture manufacturing
Converting timber logs into finished office furniture changes the form of the raw material into usable commodities, which constitutes secondary production.
Secondary production covers manufacturing and construction activities that process primary raw materials into semi-finished or finished goods.
3
Combine the stages in respective order
The logging enterprise represents primary production, while the joinery workshop represents secondary production.
The question asks for the respective order of the two operations.
