Unacademy Official Explanation:
The underlined part omits the “comma” after “however. It uses a “;” after “not”. All these are incorrect punctuations. Use of “however” as a conjunction is also not suitable to convey the meaning of the sentence correctly to the reader. We can use “whether” in place of “however” and pair it with “or” to make use of a correlative conjunction. Also, we will use a “comma” in place of “semicolon” to make it grammatically correct.
Option A is not correct. It is the same as the question.
Option B is not correct. It uses only one “comma” after “however, but omits any punctuation throughout the phrase, which makes it difficult to understand.
Option D is incorrect. It omits “comma” after “not”.
Option E is incorrect. It uses an “exclamation mark” in place of “semicolon”, which is not required here.
Hence, option C is correct.

A. However one likes it or not; agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income,
Incorrect. Although grammatically correct, it should be comma and not semicolon
B. However, one likes it or not agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income
Incorrect; misses a comma after not. It should be "However, one likes it or not, agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income".
C. Whether one likes it or not, agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income,
Correct; This option is grammatically correct and clear
D. Whether one likes it or not agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income,
Incorrect; It misses a comma. It should be "Whether one likes it or not, agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income,".
E. Whether one likes it or not! agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income,
Incorrect; it should be comma instead of exclamation mark
