Solution
Production means creation of 'material goods' only. For example, if a farmer is growing wheat, we will say the farmer is producing wheat. Likewise, if a carpenter is making a table, it will be said that the carpenter is producing table. Adam Smith, 'the Father of Economics', has defined production in this sense. According to him, "Production means production of material goods only."
