Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A (Retailing) involves selling products directly to consumers, not building or making goods.
• Option B (Extractive) is about extracting natural resources (like mining, farming), not manufacturing.
• Option C (Wholesaling) is selling in bulk to retailers, not production.
• Option D (Manufacturing) includes producing goods (like houses, cars) by transforming materials or components. A house - building company constructs houses (a type of manufactured good in the construction - manufacturing context) and a car - making company produces cars, so both fit manufacturing.

Answer:

D. Manufacturing
