Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

A dual economy is one in which a modern sector (industry and commercial agriculture) exists side by side with a traditional sector (subsistence farming and handicrafts). Statements II, III and IV describe this co-existence, so the answer is "II, III and IV". The distinction between black money and white money has nothing to do with economic dualism.
