Question 7 • Economics

Which situation best illustrates the concept of scarcity?

Answer
A
a class designing and selling calendars
B
a person buying a used car due to limited income
C
a friend buying a copy of a popular DVD
D
a cook learning to be an executive chef

Explanation

Scarcity means having limited resources to meet wants and needs. The person has limited income, so they choose a used car rather than a more expensive option; this best illustrates scarcity. Selling calendars, buying a popular DVD, and learning a new career do not explicitly show a resource limit shaping a choice.
