a market economy

a traditional economy

a planned economy
D

Explanation

In a market economy, buyers and sellers interact, and supply and demand typically determine prices. When demand rises relative to supply, prices tend to rise; when supply exceeds demand, prices tend to fall. A planned or command economy relies more on government decisions to set prices, while a traditional economy follows customary practices.
