Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Despite agriculture's critical role in Nigeria's economy, the country still imports significant quantities of food items such as wheat, sugar, and fish to meet domestic demand, so agriculture does not eliminate the need for food importation. The other options are factually correct: agriculture supplies raw materials to industries, contributes substantially to GDP, and remains the largest employer of labour in Nigeria.
