Although these are the primary colors, this choice is inappropriate.
"Well known" is not synonymous with "primary". "Primary" carries the sense of "importance" or "priority" and it should not be confused with "famous" or "well-known" needs.
In this context, "primary" conveys a sense of importance, not of simplicity or generality. In another context, it's true that "primary" can indicate something "basic" even primitive, however Kevin is not referring to the company's most basic need, but its most important.
"Primary" is being used here in the sense of "the most important" or "foremost". It is the best choice here.

1 principal or main: This is the best choice. "Primary" is being used here in the sense of "the most important" or "foremost".
1 well-known: "Well known" is not synonymous with "primary". "Primary" carries the sense of "importance" or "priority" and it should not be confused with "famous" or "well-known" needs.
1 red, blue and yellow: Although these are the primary colors, this choice is inappropriate.
1 urgent: This is incorrect. "Urgent" is not synonymous with "primary". An "urgent (problem)" is one that requires "immediate action or attention".
2 unprocessed goods: This is the correct answer. "Raw materials" are unrefined or unprocessed materials used to make finished products. Kevin is concerned about the cost of "importing raw materials" to China. In this case, the raw materials for the perfume bottles might be glass sheets and plastics.
2 factory equipment: This is incorrect. "Factory equipment" describes (man-made) machines, tools and supplies that are used in factories. These are not "unprocessed" natural products.
2 uncooked fish meat: This is incorrect. Although fresh fish or Sushi is an Asian specialty (from Japan, not China), this is not Kevin's concern.
2 glass bottles: This is incorrect. Kevin is actually concerned about the cost of raw materials. Because glass bottles are finished or refined products, they do not qualify as raw materials.
