A. A government orders a factory to produce military uniforms instead of civilian clothing.

Explanation:

A command economy is an economy in which production, investment, prices, and incomes are determined centrally by a government.

In this case, the government is controlling what is being produced by an independent factory/business.

In a capitalist economy this would not happen because it is an economy in which private individuals or businesses make decisions on things like production (what they make/produce).
