a.Organised
b.Un-organised
c.Both
d.None

Hint: A construction worker is a labourer, or professional required in the physical construction of the built environment and its infrastructure. The term construction worker is a generic term and maximum construction workers are mainly described by the type of work they perform.

Complete answer: The three sectors of economic activity are;
 Primary: involves the production of raw materials, such as corn, coal, wood and iron.
 Secondary: includes the transformation of raw materials into goods e.g. manufacturing steel into cars, or textiles into clothing.
 Tertiary: includes the supplying of goods to consumers and businesses, such as cinema and banking.
Looking at the above options:
Option a: Organised Sector is a sector where the employment terms are fixed and regular, and the employees get guaranteed work. For example: government employees, anganvadi workers, government educational sector workers, mining workers etc. This option is incorrect.
Option b: Unorganised sector is one where the employment terms are not fixed and regular. Such enterprises are not registered with the government. Example; plantation labour, handloom workers, fishermen, weavers, beedi workers etc. This option is correct.

The option c and d stands irrelevant. Hence, the correct answer is option b.

According to India’s National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganized Sector, over 92% of India’s labour force was employed in the informal economy in 2007. This indicates that more than 92% of the Indian labour force is exposed to job and income insecurity, exploitation, breach of rights and absence of significant legal protection.

Note: - The Ministry of Labour and Employment in order to ensure the welfare of workers in the unorganised sector has enacted the Unorganized Workers' Social Security Act, 2008.
-A number of acts apply to an organised sector like Factories Act, Bonus Act, PF Act, Minimum Wages Act, etc. whereas unorganised sector is not governed by any such act.
