Solution

The example of a secondary industry from the options provided is a Paper Mill.

Here's why:

Industries are typically divided into three types: primary, secondary, and tertiary.

  1. Primary industries are those that harvest or extract raw materials from nature, such as forestry.

  2. Secondary industries take the raw materials extracted by the primary industries and convert them into finished goods. Examples of this include food processing, textile production, and factories that produce a finished, usable product. In this case, a Paper Mill takes raw materials (wood from forestry, a primary industry) and turns it into a finished product (paper).

  3. Tertiary industries are service-based and provide support to primary and secondary industries as part of the supply chain. The Grocery Store and Governmental Office fall into this category.

So, the Paper Mill is an example of a secondary industry.
