Question 8 • FL-2100310-United States History A

Which example suggests a command economy?

Answer
A
The government regulates a private refinery’s release of pollutants into the air.
B
The government instructs a factory to make 5,000 T-shirts.
C
A shop owner increases production of a toy in high demand and short supply.
D
A family trades vegetables from their garden for meat.

Explanation

In a command economy, the government makes decisions about what businesses produce and how much they produce. Instructing a factory to make 5,000 T-shirts is a direct production order. Regulating pollution sets a rule but does not direct production, while the other examples reflect market choices or bartering.
