Answer 1

Agriculture is the main occupation of rural population.

Explanation:

About 75 per cent of rural people are engaged in agricultural activities such as farming, fisheries, forestry, and dairying. Most rural inhabitants are either farmers or agricultural laborers, relying primarily on agriculture for their livelihood. This dependence on agriculture is a key feature of rural areas, where a large portion of land is used for agricultural activities, including horticulture and sericulture.
