Which of the following is not a heavy industry ?

Correct answer: D. none

  • A. iron
  • B. fertilizer
  • C. paper
  • D. none

Explanation

Iron, fertiliser and paper manufacture all involve large-scale plants, substantial raw materials and high energy use, so each is commonly treated as a heavy industry. Students may look for paper as the exception because it produces a familiar consumer product, but that does not make it a light industry.
