Metals generally have a shining surface and can be beaten into sheets due to malleability. They also allow heat and electricity to pass through easily as good conductors. Therefore, all the given characteristics are correct for metals.
Compost is made from decomposed organic matter like leaves and vegetable peels. It is a natural manure and not a chemical fertilizer. Therefore, compost is not a chemical fertilizer.
Electric wires are usually made from metals like copper which are good conductors of electricity. Because they conduct current easily, coating is required to prevent shock. Therefore, polyvinyl coating is present because wires are good conductors.
Agriculture is considered the primary occupation for a large part of the population in India, including Rajasthan. People depend on farming and related activities for livelihood. Therefore, agriculture is the main occupation mentioned here.
