All of the following are examples of preindustrial societies except

a. pastoral.

c. horticultural.

b. hunting and gathering.

d. postindustrial.

The answer which reflects a society which wouldn't be considered as preindustrial would be a postindustrial society - d.

The reason for this is that postindustrial societies are societies which have evolved past the age of industrial societies; meaning they are beyond providing mostly industrial services.

The answer is d. postindustrial. This refers to an economic stage where emphasis is more services rather than manufacturing of goods. Here human capital is valued depending on the education and skills of the worker or employee and economic growth depends on new ideas that are developed.
