6 hrs confidence:
core business Explanation: The term "business activity" is less common in the U.S. than in Britain. "Core business" would be better if this is intended for an American audience. I did find an American site with the term "core business activities." So I think that either "core business" or "core business activity" would be better than "main business activity."
