Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. including.

Let's see the meaning of the following words:

  • Counting: taking account of when reaching a total
  • Wrapping: paper or soft material used to cover or enclose something.
  • Showing: the way in which something is argued or represented.
  • Including: used for saying that a person or thing is part of a particular group or amount.

The sentence is saying what all comes under the consumer and industrial products, so including will be used.

Hence, option 4 will be the correct answer.
