Shipbuilding and Automobile
Industries are typically classified by the size and weight of the product, the bulk of raw materials handled, and the scale of capital investment.
Heavy industries involve large-scale operations, bulky raw materials, and high capital intensity — for example, iron and steel, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, heavy machinery, and petroleum refining.
Light industries use less bulky raw materials and produce lighter goods, e.g. sewing machines, electric bulbs, fuse wires, watches, paint brushes — these are all light/consumer industries.
Among the given options, only Shipbuilding and Automobile are both heavy industries. Hence option B is correct.
