C
It determines how a country will spend the money it makes selling goods and services to other countries.
D
It creates regulatory organizations designed to protect owners, workers, the environment, and the country.

Explanation

An economic system organizes how a society uses its resources. Its central questions are what goods and services to produce, how to produce them, and who will receive them. Choice B states these three questions; the other choices describe narrower activities, not the overall function of an economic system.
