Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
• Workers are often classified by "collar colors" based on the nature of their work and sector.
• Red Collar: Workers in the primary sector (agriculture, mining, etc.).
• White Collar: Professional, administrative, or managerial workers.
• Gold Collar: Highly skilled specialists or senior executives in quinary activities.
• Pink Collar: Jobs in the service sector typically involving customer interaction or care.

Step 1: Understand the requirement of the question
We need to identify which collar color correctly matches the profession listed next to it.

Step 2: Analyse each pair
Option (A): Red collar worker – Practicing lawyers
• Lawyers are white-collar professionals. Red collar is for primary activities. Option (B): Gold collar worker – Senior business executive
• Quinary activities (high-level decision making) are associated with gold collar workers.
• This match is correct. Option (C): Pink collar worker – Environmental scientist
• Scientists are white-collar (quaternary) professionals. Option (D): White collar worker – Mining worker
• Mining is a primary activity, making these workers red-collar.

Step 3: Conclusion
Only the pair in Option (B) is correctly matched.
