Explanation:

Tertiary activities are an important part of the services sector as distinct from the secondary (industrial and manufacturing sector). Tertiary activities include both production and exchange. The production involves the ‘provision’ of services that are ‘consumed’. The output is indirectly measured in terms of wages and salaries. They are not directly involved in the processing of physical raw materials. Common examples are the work of a plumber, electrician or a doctor.
