How do socialism and communism compare?

Socialism can allow private ownership of property, although it may also include public ownership of key industries or services. Communism, in its traditional theory, calls for common ownership of the means of production rather than private ownership. So “Only socialism allows for the private ownership of property” is the best comparison; the other choices incorrectly describe the relationship between these systems and government or economic control.
