Dean Oconnor · Answer 1

B) Freedom of choice and enterprise are essential elements of the market system.

Explanation:

A free market system is a system where private parties (suppliers and consumers) decide how resources will be allocated. Consumers are free to decide whether they like or not a product and whether they will purchase it or not. On the other hand, producers are free to decide whether to produce one product or a totally different one, and at what price they want to sell it. Te free market system is extremely efficient in getting goods to consumers that value them the most.

There are no kings in a free market system, and though it is very efficient in creating overall wealth, it is not efficient in distributing wealth and income.
