Analysis of Gross Value Added (GVA) data for the services sector in India during the period 2009-10 to 2018-19 indicates that the sub-sector comprising 'Trade, Hotels, Transport, Communication & Services related to broadcasting' consistently contributed significantly to the overall growth and increased share of the services sector in the economy. While 'Financial, real estate and professional services' (Option D) also showed strong growth, the combined categories in option B often accounted for a larger portion of the absolute increase in GVA within the services sector during this specific decade, driven by expanding domestic consumption, improved connectivity, and infrastructure development.
