Answer

A

Explanation

The real sector of an economy comprises activities that persuade economic output and progress of GDP — such as farmers harvesting crops or textile mills converting raw cotton into fabrics. A commercial bank lending money and a corporate body issuing bonds overseas are financial sector activities, not real sector activities. The financial sector generates revenue from loans, mortgages, and financial instruments.
