Explanation:

First Question: What does economic dependency mean?

Economic dependency refers to a situation where an economy relies on external entities (like other countries) for resources, markets, or financial support. Option a describes relying on other countries' resources, which fits economic dependency. Option b is about resource conservation, c about local industry expansion, and d about industrialization—none match the concept of dependency.

Primary industries involve extracting or harvesting natural resources. Mining extracts minerals (a natural resource), so it's primary. Retail (a) is secondary/tertiary (sales), healthcare (c) is tertiary (services), and IT (d) is tertiary (services/technology).

Answer:

a. Relying on resources from other countries
