c	Quaternary industries collect process and manipulate information and capital
d	Political stability and local receptiveness are important in industrial location
e	The core has largely shifted from heavy industry to service industries

Answer 1

Hello, the false statement is "All manufacturing operations must locate at the resource source".

The reason is that thanks to supply chains and logistics (A.K.A globalization), manufacturing companies do not have the need to be where the resources are since the raw materials can be moved around the globe.

Thank you.
