उत्तर
Sugar, cotton textiles and vegetable oils are footloose industries.
Explanation:
This statement is wrong because sugar, cotton, and vegetable oils are weight-losing industries that must be located close to their raw material sources to minimise transport costs. In contrast, true footloose industries do not depend on specific raw materials, produce in small quantities, and can be set up anywhere.
